List of Ingredients

1 � cups butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 Tbls. milk
1 teas. vanilla
� teas. almond extract
4 cups flour
1 teas. baking powder
Professional grade paste food coloring. (Available at cake decorating and craft stores)



Recipe

Preheat oven to 400� F. Thoroughly cream butter and sugar. Add egg, milk, vanilla and almond extracts.

Beat well. Stir together flour and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture, mixing to make a smooth dough. Do not chill. Divide dough.

Add to each section enough food coloring to achieve color desired. I find kneading it with my hand gives the best result (wear a rubber glove or your hand will be the color you are using.)

Place dough into a cookie press (you can put more than one color in the press to get multi color cookies) and press cookies onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 400� F. oven for 6 to 8 minute or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from sheet, cool on rack.

YIELD: 6 Dozen
