Ingredients
  • 2 C Butter, unsalted, room temperature
  • 2 C Granulated Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1½ tsp Kosher Salt
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ½ tsp Almond Emulsion or ¾ tsp Almond Extract
  • 5¾ C All Purpose Flour
Instructions
  1. With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar for 7 minutes or until fluffy on medium speed with the paddle attachment.
  2. Beat in eggs just until combined.
  3. Add salt, vanilla and almond emulsion mixing for about 10 seconds on low.
  4. Add in flour and mix until dough is pulling clean from the sides of the bowl. In humid weather add up to ¼ cup more flour if needed.
  5. To roll out, put dough on top of parchment paper or silicone mat in between two ¼" wooden dowels. Roll using a rolling pin. Transfer rolled dough sheets to refrigerator for 30 min.
  6. Remove dough from the fridge and preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  7. Cut desired shapes.
  8. Put shapes onto a parchment covered cookie sheet and put in freezer for 10 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until just barely starting to brown on the edges. Iron with fondant smoother. Let the cookies cool on a cooling rack.
  10. Decorate!
