Cream in a mixer:
1 c. butter, softened1 1/4 c. powdered sugar
Add and beat in:
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract
Combine together and then add:
2 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
Dough should be sticky. Load up the cookie press with dough. Press out cookies onto ungreased bare cookie sheet (I know, I know, I am a firm believer in the *gospel* of parchment paper, but unless you want to sharpen up on your sailor language, please just press them out on a bare pan--it hurts, I know, but it is by far easier than trying to press them out on to the parchment. Trust me!!). Bake for 6-8 minutes, depending on how dense the cookies are (solid shapes, closer to 8 and delicate thin wreaths, more like 6-7). Bake in a 375 degree oven. Do not brown.
