Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup salted butter softened
- ½ cup shortening
- 1 ½ cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoon almond extract
- 4 cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup corn starch
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup butter softened
- 6 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6-8 tablespoons milk
- sugar sprinkles in a variety of colors
- black sugar pearls
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, shortening, and sugar until fluffy using an electric mixer or stand mixer.
- Lower the mixer speed and add the egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Incorporate the baking powder.
- Gradually mix in the flour and cornstarch. Start with 3 ½ cups of flour; if the dough is too soft, add the remaining ½ cup. If too dry, add a bit of water.
- Lightly flour your work surface and shape the dough into a large ball, then press it into a disk.
- Roll the dough out to your desired thickness (about ¼-1/2 inch) and cut it into shapes. Add more flour if the dough is sticky, but aim for a soft texture.
- Use a spatula to carefully transfer the cookie shapes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes. The cookies will remain soft. Allow them to sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
Notes
Ensure butter is softened for easy mixing.
Adjust thickness of cookies based on personal preference.
Use different colored sprinkles for a festive look.
