Sugar Cookies

I found this recipe on food.com a user on there posted it, but because I'm terrified of losing amazing recipes I'm going to put it here so it doesn't get lost.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon of almond extract

3 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1. In a large bowl combine butter with sugar, eggs, vanilla and almond extract. Beat using an electric mixer on high until fluffy.

2. In another bowl combine flour with baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir the dry mixture into the butter mixture until it's well blended.

3. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours.

4. Set oven to 400 degrees

5. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper

6.On a floured surface roll out the dough into about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out the shapes you want using cookie cutters and put them 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.

7. Bake 4-6 minutes. If they aren't quite done try them for another minute or so.

8. Remove cookies and cool completely before icing, or eat them straight.

I really enjoyed these cookies <3 my friend Sam and I doubled the batch and then painted the frosting onto the cookies, where we let them sit for about an hour until the frosting had hardened.
