Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- Food coloring (various colors)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the dough into several portions (about 4-6) and add a few drops of different food coloring to each portion. Mix until the colors are well incorporated.
- Take small pieces of each colored dough and roll them into balls. Flatten them slightly and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the colors together on each cookie for an abstract design.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- For a fun twist, try adding chocolate chips or sprinkles to the dough before baking for added texture and flavor.
- Experiment with different flavor extracts like lemon or peppermint to customize the taste of your cookies.
