Directions: |
Directions:Cream butter and sugar together on medium speed with paddle attachment . (scrape bowl a few times to get all the butter mixed in) Beat in egg and extract. Add all of the flour at once (Cover the bowl so it doesn't make a mess) Mix on low for 30 sec. When flour clumps around the paddle, it's ready. It should have a little give when you touch it, but it shouldn't stick to your finger. Add a little more flour if you need to. It's important to NOT over mix the dough! Roll out to 1/4 in. between 2 sheets of parchment. (Good idea to put 1/4 in. thick sticks along long sides inside a cookie sheet that is lined with parchment. Put dough in center of pan flatten a bit, cover with another sheet of parchment, then roll your rolling pin over the sticks to get dough as level as possible) Chill at least 1 hour in fridge or 25 min. in freezer. Cut out cookies and place on parchment paper-lined cookie sheets. Gather and reroll scraps to cut out again. Put filled cookie sheets back in fridge while you finish cutting out. Preheat oven to 350 and bake 8-10 min. Take out right before they begin to brown. Smooth tops to remove any bubbles(can use back of flat pancake turner). Cool completely before decorating.
