Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325° F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
  2. Melt butter in a medium-sized pot. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir in granulated sugar until well combined. Add in egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
  4. Mix until lighter in color. Add in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure a smooth, well-combined batter.
  5. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes or so to let the flour soak into the rest of the batter.
  6. The batter should be warm and obviously sticky. As it sits and cools, the batter will thicken to a more obvious dough. This is when you would scoop the dough into cookies.
  7. Scoop cookie dough onto prepared pans, using a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop.
  8. Bake 8-9 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through baking. When you pull your cookies out of the oven, they will look cooked around the edges and undercooked in the center.
  9. Leave the cookies on the hot baking pans for 5-7 minutes or until you can remove them without falling apart. Place onto cooling racks and cool to room temperature before glazing.

for the glaze-

  1. In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar together with milk and vanilla extract until thick glaze forms. Should be the consistency of white school glue; add the milk in slowly! Add in food coloring if desired and then drizzle over cookies. 

Notes

  • As the cookie dough rests and cools, the flour will get absorbed. If you let it sit too long, your cookies may not flatten as much as mine did. No problem! Gently flatten the tops of your dough balls before baking.
  • If you notice your cookies are too buttery or too flat, you may need to let your dough cool longer OR add a touch more flour to help with the structure of the cookie.
  • Best eaten in the first 24 hours after baking; store in airtight containers.
