Ingredients

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Cream together until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, almond extract and sour cream and mix together until smooth, scraping down the sides once.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder.
Add to the wet ingredients and mix in until just combined.
Place the dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper and roll out to a thickness of no less than 1/2”.
Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
Remove dough from refrigerator and cut out desired shapes with cookie cutters.
Place cookies 1” apart on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. Do not let them brown! Cook for the shortest amount of time possible, so that they almost seem underdone. Once cooled, they will be soft because of this.
Cool cookies on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
Frost as desired.
