Ingredients

¾ cup unsalted butter, softened

⅔ cup powdered sugar, sifted

1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon almond extract

1¾ cups all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons cornstarch

¼ teaspoon salt

Holiday sprinkles, jimmies or nonpareils

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and almond extract, and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.
Roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness.

Cut into desired shapes using a cookie cutter.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decorate with holiday sprinkles, jimmies or nonpareils.

Tips:

Make sure to use clear vanilla extract for the best flavor.
If you want a more tender cookie, bake for 15-18 minutes.
You can customize the cookies with different sprinkles and decorations to fit your holiday theme.

Enjoy your delicious Christmas Shortbread Cookies!
