Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (Measure by spooning into a cup and leveling.)

- 1 unit egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 3/4 cup colored sugar or sprinkles (Use for rolling the cookies before baking.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
