Combine butter and sugar.Do not cream the butter and sugar. Just mix until incorporated, with no lumps of butter.
In a small bowl mix egg, milk or cream, and extracts. Add this mixture all at once to the butter and sugar. Mix just until the egg is broken. The mixture will look curdled, this is okay.
In another small bowl, mix the flour and baking powder. Add these dry ingredients to the liquid ingredients in the mixing bowl. Mix to form dough.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Knead the dough a few times to smooth it out and with a rolling pin, roll dough to 3/8" thickness. Cut into desired shapes. The dough scraps can be used several times. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. |
