Butter Cookies

The next cookie I made was my mother's butter cookies.

The recipe is as follows:

Sift together 
2 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Set aside


Cream
1 cup softened butter.  Gradually add
1 1/4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar creaming well


Blend in
1 egg
1/2 tsp Almond Extract
1 tsp Vanilla Extract


Add gradually
the dry ingredients; mix thoroughly

Press a small amount of dough through a cookie press onto ungreased baking sheets.


I used a Christmas tree and two flower disks in my cookie press.


Decorate with sprinkles before baking.



I preheated the oven to 350 degrees and baked for 8 minutes.

This is how they looked.


Definitely my family's favorite.
