Notes
- Butter: Cool room temperature butter should be soft enough to dent when pressed, but it shouldn't lose its shape. The butter should be about 68-70F.
- Almond extract: The almond extract helps to give the cookies extra flavor oomph. If you can't use almond extract, you can replace it with vanilla extract.
- All-purpose flour: It's important to properly measure the flour. Either weigh the flour (click "metric" for the weights), or you can sift the flour, lightly spoon into the measuring cup, and level.
- The yield will vary depending on the size and shape of the cookies.
- Nutrition values are estimates.
