Ingredients:  
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
(can add 1 1/2 tsp almond extract here. Yummy, I do that)
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
Directions:
Directions:
Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and blend wel. Add extracts and blend. Mix flour and salt and gradually add. cover dough with plastic wrap. (I usually put mine in a gallon size Ziploc bag) and chil dough for about 2 hours. Don't skip this. You must chill the dough. Working with about 1/3 of the batch at a time, briefly knead the chilled dough and roll about 1/4 inch thick. Cookies on a stick are rolled 3/8 inch thick. Cut out shapes, insert a lollipop stick about half way into the cookie, if using. Bake cookies on parchment paer- lined baking trays at 375º for 12-14 minutes. Thicker cookies may need up to 20 minutes. Just watch for edges that are nicely golden.

MAKE AHEAD Notes: You can also freeze dough. After mixing, put dough in a gallon sized freezer ziploc bag (or wrap well) and freeze. Thaw overnight.
