Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp almond extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
For the Frosting
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 –2 tbsp heavy cream or milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp peppermint extract optional but festive!
  • Red or green gel food coloring
  • Holiday sprinkles

Method
 

Make the Cookies
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment.
  2. Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Mix well.
  4. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until dough forms.
  5. Chill the dough for 20 minutes to help cookies stay thick.
  6. Scoop large balls of dough (about 3 tbsp each), roll smooth, and slightly flatten.
  7. Bake 9–11 minutes. Cookies should look just set—don’t overbake!
  8. Cool completely before frosting.
Make the Frosting
  1. Beat butter until creamy.
  2. Add powdered sugar gradually, mixing until smooth.
  3. Add cream, vanilla, and peppermint extract.
  4. Tint with red or green food coloring.
  5. Beat until fluffy and silky.
  6. Assemble
  7. Frost each cooled cookie generously. Add sprinkles for a Christmas sparkle.

Notes

Signature thick look: Chilling the dough prevents spreading.
Flavor twist: Swap peppermint for almond extract for a classic bakery taste.
Make ahead: Cookies stay soft for 4 days or freeze (unfrosted) up to 2 months.
