Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup superfine sugar (or granulated sugar processed in food processor for 30
seconds)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract, optional
2 1/2 cups all--purpose flour
Directions:
Directions:
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the
butter, sugar and salt at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the egg yolk and beat until fully incorporated. Mix in the whole egg, vanilla and
optional almond extract. Beat until full mixed. Add the flour, then beat at low speed
just until combined. Be careful to not over--mix.

Divide the dough in half and wrap
in plastic wrap. Store in fridge until firm, at least one hour and up to 2 days.

Preheat oven to 375 ̊F. On a floured work surface, roll the dough to 1/4--inch
thick, sprinkling with additional flour as needed to prevent sticking. Use cookies
cutters to cut into shapes and place on parchment or silicone--lined pans.

Bake until cookies appear dry on the surface and are light golden brown on the edges, about
10 minutes (or a few more for larger cookies). Let sit for 2 minutes before removing
from cookie sheets. Allow to cool completely on cooling racks before decorating.

*Only makes about 15 cookies so I usually at least double the recipe.
