Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups All-purpose flour
- 1/4 tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 tablespoon Baking soda
- 1/2 tablespoon Cream of tartar
- 1/4 tablespoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 Egg, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Almond extract
- Melted white chocolate, for dipping
- Sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- Take a small-sized icing bowl. Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt in that bowl. Stir until thoroughly combined.
- Beat the butter and sugar in a large mixing basin or the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment for three to four minutes, on medium speed. Now add the egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Make sure to thoroughly mix everything.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until well blended. If the dough is very sticky, add one or two more tablespoons of flour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Now Line baking sheets with parchment paper and put them aside.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll out to about 1/2" thickness. Cut into your desired shapes. After transferring to the baking pans that have been prepared, let the cookies cool for half an hour.
- Now bake the chilled cookies for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly golden brown. The cookies will remain soft. Let the cookies cool slightly before transferring them to a wire rack.
- The delicious Panera Shortbread Cookies are ready. You can dip the cookies in melted chocolate and sprinkles if desired.
