Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup softened butter
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 egg
• 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Red and Blue Coloring

Preparation

Step 1

1. Mix sugar, butter, milk, vanilla and almond extract, and egg.
2. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until well incorporated.
3. Divide dough in three equal parts. Leave one part uncolored for the white dough; color one part of dough with red coloring; color another part of dough with blue coloring.
4. Form all three dough parts into rounds. Then flatten into disks. and cover and refrigerate for at least one hour. Sometimes I cheat and place the rounds in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
5. Take dough and combine the three colors to make a cookie, about tablespoon size or a little larger. Place cookie dough balls on baking sheet and flatten slightly with the bottom of a drinking glass.
6. Bake in 350 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on wire rack for about 5 minutes.
