Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened (no substitutions)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1-1/2 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup Argo® Corn Starch

  1. Cream butter, powdered sugar and extracts. Add flour and corn starch. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Roll dough into 1-1/2 inch balls. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Flatten each cookie by pressing gently with fingers.
  3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, just until bottoms are lightly browned. Cool cookies on wire racks.
