Butter Cookies
The basic butter cookie is still a favorite. This simple recipe makes plenty of tasty pastries to give or for parties.
1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
Oven: 350 degrees
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter. Gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and almond extract. Gradually blend in the flour.
Chill dough for ease in handling. Roll out on a lightly-floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with lightly-floured cookie cutters. Place on baking sheet and bake 10-12 minutes. Remove immediately to wire racks. When cool, decorate with frosting and/or colored sugar. Makes about 7-8 dozen.
