Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Decoration:
- Fall-colored sprinkles or colored sugar for decorating
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a cookie press with a fall-themed disk shape.
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using), mixing well. Gradually incorporate the flour and salt to form a smooth dough.
- Press the Cookies: Load the cookie press with the dough and press cookies onto baking sheets, leaving space between each. Decorate with sprinkles or colored sugar.
