Baking Process

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line your baking sheets with silicone baking mats.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary.
• Pour in the vanilla and almond extracts, mixing until well combined.
• Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing on low speed until just combined, then finish by mixing with a spatula.
• Optional: Divide your dough and mix in red or green gel icing color for decoration.
• Using a cookie press, press out cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
• Decorate with sprinkles if desired before baking.
• Bake for 5-8 minutes, checking for desired doneness when edges are lightly golden.
• Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 4-5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
