A great "brain break" after a long day of tests & studying :)
1 cup butter, 1.5 cups sugar, 1 egg,
1.5 tsp vanilla extract, .5 tsp almond extract, 2.75 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, & 1 tsp salt
In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat butter & sugar until fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and almond to butter & sugar, and beat until combined. Add dry mixture to wet mixture 1 cup at a time, beat until combined. Flour a flat surface and a rolling pin, and roll out the dough flat. Use cookie cutters to cut out fun shapes, place onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper, and bake cookies at 400 degrees for 6-7 minutes or until just brown on the edges. Frost & decorate with your favorite frosting!]]> 2020-12-08 00:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/marywieczorekslb/finals/wish/996453857 Don't forget to eat when you study! spenserpfannenstielslb https://padlet.com/marywieczorekslb/finals/wish/996804528 2020-12-08 03:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/marywieczorekslb/finals/wish/996804528 When the professor assigned a paper last minute and it's finally finished... spenserpfannenstielslb https://padlet.com/marywieczorekslb/finals/wish/996806198 2020-12-08 03:31:05 UTC https://padlet.com/marywieczorekslb/finals/wish/996806198 Push through until the end, then watch a good movie or do something else to relax! spenserpfannenstielslb https://padlet.com/marywieczorekslb/finals/wish/996811332 2020-12-08 03:34:38 UTC https://padlet.com/marywieczorekslb/finals/wish/996811332 https://padlet.com/marywieczorekslb/finals/wish/997221920 2020-12-08 07:43:13 UTC https://padlet.com/marywieczorekslb/finals/wish/997221920 Keep at it!
