Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs and extracts. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture.

    Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets; flatten slightly with bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Bake until edges begin to brown slightly, 12-14 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks; cool completely.
