Source of Recipe

Donna Dube


List of Ingredients

1 ½ cups butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 Tbls. milk
1 teas. vanilla
½ teas. almond extract
4 cups flour
1 teas. baking powder
Professional grade paste food coloring. (Available at cake decorating and craft stores)



Recipe

Preheat oven to 400º F. Thoroughly cream butter and sugar. Add egg, milk, vanilla and almond extracts.

Beat well. Stir together flour and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture, mixing to make a smooth dough. Do not chill. Divide dough.

Add to each section enough food coloring to achieve color desired. I find kneading it with my hand gives the best result (wear a rubber glove or your hand will be the color you are using.)

Place dough into a cookie press (you can put more than one color in the press to get multi color cookies) and press cookies onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 400º F. oven for 6 to 8 minute or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from sheet, cool on rack.
