Directions

Cream butter and add powdered sugar. Blend in egg, almond extract, vanilla, salt and flour. Chill 4 hours or over night. Roll out to 1/8 inch thickness on well floured surface. Cut with cookie cutters and place on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 deg for 8 - 10 minutes. Cool. Frost with powdered sugar icing (colored if desired). Sprinkle with colored sugar, jimmies, etc.

I’ve made these from the year one with children and grandchildren. Enjoyed the whole thing. Never mind crunchy floors etc. Grandpa has fun too making unusual designs.
