Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream together the powdered sugar and butter until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract; mix thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cream of tartar, and baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Refrigerate the dough for 2 to 3 hours or overnight before rolling out and baking.
Tips & Substitutions
For a softer and chewier texture, consider using half brown sugar instead of powdered sugar. If you don't have almond extract, you can substitute with an equal amount of vanilla extract. Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking, so don't skip that step.

Pair them with a glass of milk or serve alongside a slice of Chocolate Pie Or Pudding(Microwave) for a delightful dessert spread.
