Recipe Yield:
1 1/2 dozen cookies
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare Dough:
- In a large bowl, using a mixer at low speed, beat together the butter and sugar until well blended.
-
Beat Until Creamy:
- Increase the speed to high and continue beating until the mixture turns light and creamy, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
-
Incorporate Egg and Almond Extract:
- With the mixer still on low speed, add the egg and almond extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until everything is well mixed.
-
Add Flour:
- Gradually beat in the all-purpose flour just until fully incorporated into the dough.
-
Load Cookie Press:
- Spoon the prepared dough into a cookie press or a large piping bag fitted with a large star tip (3/4 inch diameter opening).
-
Form Cookies:
- Onto ungreased large cookie sheets, pipe the dough into “S” shapes, each about 2 1/2 inches long and spaced approximately 2 inches apart.
-
Bake:
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until they are lightly browned around the edges.
-
Cool Slightly:
- Allow the baked cookies to remain on the cookie sheet for about 2 minutes to cool slightly.
-
Transfer to Wire Rack:
- After cooling slightly, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Repeat and Store:
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
- Once cooled completely, store the cookies in a tightly covered container for up to 1 week.
