hhon378
From the back of the Gold Medal flour bag. This recipe beats the Better Homes one hands down by making a sugar cookie that holds together much better by using powdered sugar instead of regular, and all butter, no shortening. Thanks for the tip Anne!

- 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 egg
- 2 1/3 cups flour
