Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375. Cream butter in large mixer bowl. Add sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and extracts. Gradually blend in flour, almonds, and salt. Using pastry bag and large star tip, pipe dough into rosettes or stars about 1 3/4 inches in diameter onto unbuttered cookie sheets. Decorate with cherries, sprinkles or dragees, if desired. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until pale golden. Remove from cookie sheets; cool completely on wire racks.
