A delightful twist on traditional Greek butter cookies, these treats are infused with vanilla and almond flavors, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Use a hand mixer for quicker and smoother results.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
Ensure the egg is fully incorporated for a smooth batter.
Gradually mix in the flour to form a soft dough.
Add the flour in portions to avoid overmixing.
Shape the dough into small balls or logs and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Keep the shapes uniform for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Check the cookies towards the end of baking to prevent overbrowning.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Cooling on the sheet helps them firm up slightly.
Once completely cooled, dust the cookies with confectioners' sugar before serving.
Use a fine sieve for an even dusting.
