These are one of my family's all time favorites... You need to have a cookie press to make these...
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
Stir together flour and baking powder
Beat butter or margarine for 30 seconds; add sugar and beat till fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and almond extract, if desired; beat well. Gradually add dry ingredients to beaten mixture; beating till well combined.
Do Not Chill.
Force dough through a cookie press onto an ungreased cookie sheet. If desired, sprinkle with colored sugars or with ground almonds dyed red or green with food coloring. Bake in 400 degree oven for 7 to 8 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
Makes about 60.You can also decorate these with different candies like peppermints, and cinnamon imperials ...
