Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. This step is crucial for creating a tender cookie. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. This ensures each yolk is fully incorporated, creating a smooth and rich dough. Beat in the egg white and almond extract until just combined. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Gradually add the flour, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough cookie. The dough should be smooth and pliable. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Load the dough into a cookie press fitted with your desired disc. Press cookies directly onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. (15 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep a close eye on them, as they can burn quickly. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from breaking. (60 minutes)

For a festive touch, decorate the cooled cookies with melted chocolate, sprinkles, or chopped nuts.
Store the baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
If the dough is too soft to press, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before using.
Experiment with different extracts, such as vanilla or lemon, for a unique flavor twist.
