A delightful treat featuring a soft and chewy texture with a sparkling sugar crust, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3/4 cup sparkling sugar (for rolling)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Beat the softened butter with the white sugar in a large mixing bowl until fluffy and light in color, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter mixture and continue to beat until thoroughly combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Form the dough into balls using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, and roll each ball in the sparkling sugar until evenly coated.
  7. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  8. Press down gently on each cookie ball with the bottom of a glass to flatten slightly.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the edges are lightly golden, but centers still look soft.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months.
