Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grab a couple of baking sheets. Line them with parchment paper so nothing sticks later. It’s a little thing, but it makes cleanup way easier.

  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Just enough to mix everything evenly.

  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This is where the magic starts, so give it a good mix.

  4. Step 4: Add in your egg, vanilla, and almond extract (if you’re using it). Keep mixing until it’s all smooth and smells amazing.

  5. Step 5: Slowly add your dry ingredients to the wet ones. Mix just until everything comes together into a soft dough.

  6. If you want that perfect cookie finish, shiny and smooth but still soft to bite into, this is the one.

  7. My sugar cookie icing comes together in just a few minutes and works for piping, spreading, or dipping.

  8. Mix powdered sugar, milk, light corn syrup, and your favorite extract (I usually go for vanilla or almond).
