Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter
- 2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
Eggs and Extracts:
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
Baking and Finishing Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- Pink food coloring
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a toasty 350°F and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper for pristine cookie preparation.
- Whip butter and sugar in a spacious mixing bowl until airy and cloud-like, incorporating egg and aromatic extracts until the mixture transforms into a silky smooth consistency.
- Separately, combine flour, leavening agent, and seasoning with a gentle whisking motion, ensuring uniform distribution of dry components.
- Methodically portion dough into generously sized spheres, gently flattening each into robust circular shapes, strategically positioning them across the lined baking surface with sufficient spacing.
- Transfer cookies into the heated oven, allowing them to bake until edges acquire a gentle firmness while maintaining a tender, slightly underdone center appearance.
- After removing from the oven, permit cookies to rest momentarily on the baking sheet, allowing them to stabilize and set for approximately 5 minutes.
- Carefully relocate the delicate cookies onto a cooling rack, enabling complete temperature reduction and texture refinement before serving or storing.
Notes
- Achieving the perfect texture requires not overbaking, so remove cookies when edges are set but centers look slightly soft.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and maintain a thick, plump cookie shape.
- Use room temperature butter and egg for smoother, more evenly mixed batter that creates consistent cookie texture.
- For dietary variations, swap regular flour with gluten-free blend and use plant-based butter to make the recipe allergen-friendly and suitable for different nutritional needs.
