Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the baking sheet: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, powdered sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the wet ingredients: Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch.
  5. Form the dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
  6. Bake the cookies: Roll tablespoon-sized portions of dough into balls, flatten slightly, and bake for 10–12 minutes until just set.
  7. Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool before serving or storing.

Notes
