1 cup salted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons whipping cream (or whole milk)
2 tablespoons pure vanilla
1 teaspoons almond extract
3 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tablespoons baking powder

Combine butter and sugar. Do not take this mixture to a ‘light cream’. Think incorporate not cream. Just make sure the mixture is smooth - no butter lumps.

In a small bowl mix eggs, milk/cream, and extracts. Add this mixture all at once to the butter and sugar. Mix just until the egg is broken. The mixture will ‘curdle’ but that’s not a problem.

In another small bowl, mix the flour and baking powder. Add these dry ingredients to the liquid ingredients in the mixing bowl. Process to form dough.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. The beauty of this dough is that it does not need to chill before using it. Bake for 8 – 10 minutes or until golden brown.
