Recipe: Cut Out Sugar Cookie

Ingredients

Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl and set aside.
In a stand mixer, blend butter and sugar until just combined, then scrape down the bowl.
Mix in egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, then scrape down the bowl again.
Add the flour mixture and mix until combined, then scoop the dough and divide it into two balls.
Dust and roll each dough ball to ¼-inch thick between sheets of parchment paper.
Transfer the dough on parchment to a baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cut the chilled dough into desired shapes using cookie cutters and transfer to the baking sheets.
Bake for 9 to 12 minutes until nearly set, then cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Repeat with remaining dough, re-rolling scraps as necessary, and let cookies cool completely before icing.
