Ingredients:

½ cup Margarine, softened

1 cup Sugar

1 Lg. Egg

2 tsp. Almond extract

½ tsp. Vanilla extract

2 cups All-purpose flour

¼ tsp. Salt

Directions

1)In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the margarine with sugar until well blended. Add egg and extracts; beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

2)Preheat oven to 350º. Using a floured rolling pin, roll ½ of the dough on a well-floured surface until slightly less than ¼ -inch thick. With a cookie cutter ( can use shaped cutters of various designs ) cut and arrange about 1-inch apart on a un-greased baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough.

3)Bake 12 minutes or until edges are golden ( Cookies should not be brown ). Let stand 1 minute; remove cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.

4)If desired, to glaze cookies, blend ½ cup confectioners sugar, 1 ½ Tbs. water and 1 drop of red food coloring, and sprinkle can be added also. With a pastry brush, brush tops of cookies with sugar mixture and add sprinkles while wet, then let dry before storing in a airtight container.
