Instructions

1. 1

   Prep cookie dough

   • Pro Tip: Leave butter and eggs at room temperature for 1 hour before beginning. This will soften butter for easy mixing and ensure more even distribution of eggs in the dough.
   • In medium bowl, stir together flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
   • In bowl of stand mixer with paddle attachment or in large bowl with wooden spoon, combine butter and sugar; mix until creamy and well incorporated.
   • Add egg, almond extract and vanilla extract; mix well.
   • Add flour mixture; mix for 30 seconds to thoroughly blend dough.
