Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar for icing
- 2 tablespoons milk for icing
- Food coloring (optional)
- Sprinkles for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually blend in the dry ingredients until just combined. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place them onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass to create a disc shape.
- Shape the Cookies: Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies. If desired, you can also shape the cookies by hand for a more rustic look.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Prepare the Icing: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with milk until smooth. For colored icing, add a few drops of food coloring and mix well.
- Decorate: Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the icing over them and sprinkle with decorative sprinkles if desired.
