Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (227g/8 oz) unsalted butter
- 2 ¾ cups (345g/12.2 oz) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200g/7 oz) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 2 tsps baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 cups (240g/8.5 oz) powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsps heavy cream or milk
- Pink food coloring
Instructions
- Preparation: Ignite the oven to a precise 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper, creating an ideal canvas for cookie crafting.
- Creaming: Blend butter and sugar in a spacious mixing vessel until ethereally light, then introduce egg and vanilla, whisking until the mixture achieves a silken, uniform texture.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt, ensuring a harmonious blend of dry components that will provide structural integrity to the cookies.
- Shaping and Positioning: Craft substantial dough spheres, gently pressing them into robust discs, then arrange strategically across the prepared baking surface with ample breathing room between each cookie.
- Baking Transformation: Slide the cookie-laden sheets into the preheated oven, allowing them to metamorphose until edges turn golden and centers maintain a delicate, slightly underbaked essence – approximately 10-12 minutes.
- Cooling Choreography: Extract cookies from the oven and let them rest momentarily on the baking sheet, allowing residual heat to complete their subtle cooking process, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling and textural refinement.
Notes
- Ensure Butter Temperature: Soften butter at room temperature for 30-60 minutes to guarantee smooth, even mixing and optimal cookie texture.
- Avoid Overmixing Dough: Gently combine ingredients until just incorporated to prevent tough, dense cookies and maintain a tender crumb.
- Check Oven Accuracy: Use an oven thermometer to verify precise 350°F temperature, preventing uneven baking or burnt edges.
- Chill Dough for Perfection: Refrigerate cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create a more structured cookie shape.
