Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp almond extract
  • Orange and black sanding sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  2. In a larger mixing bowl, cream together the room temperature butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until smooth. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract; mix until well combined.
  3. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully blended.
  4. Prepare two bowls with orange and black sanding sugar. Using a cookie scoop, form dough balls and roll each one in colored sugar before placing them on a silicone-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet before serving.
