Total Time 1 hours 45 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 0S

Yield 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 c. all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 c. granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 tbsp. milk
1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
5 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. heavy cream
1/2 tsp. pure almond extract
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
Food coloring 

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
  • In another large bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy and pale in color. Add egg, milk, and vanilla and beat until combined, then add flour mixture gradually until totally combined.
  • Shape into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 1 hour.
  • When ready to roll, preheat oven to 350º and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out dough until 1/8” thick. Cut out shapes and transfer to prepared baking sheets. Freeze 10 minutes (so your shapes hold while baking!).
  • Meanwhile, make frosting: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter until smooth, then add powdered sugar and beat until no lumps remain. Add cream, almond extract, and salt and beat until combined.
  • Bake cookies until edges are lightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes. 
  • Let cool, then frost and decorate as desired.
