Delicious Almond Sugar Cookies Recipe for Every Occasion

Ingredients

Servings:
60
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a large bowl, beat together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results.
  3. Add Egg and Extracts

    Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.

    Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

    Sifting the flour helps to avoid lumps.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep cookies soft.
  6. Shape Cookies

    Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Leave space between cookies as they will spread.
  7. Bake the Cookies

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

    Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Enjoy them warm or store in an airtight container.
