Classic Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
• 3 to 4 tablespoons buttermilk
• Extra sugar for rolling

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
4. Combine: Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Add the buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is formed.
5. Shape Cookies: Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and roll in sugar. Place onto prepared baking sheets, about 1 1/2 inches apart.
6. Bake: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
