Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup soft butter, not melted Use soft butter to ensure a creamy texture.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Add a tiny splash of almond extract for more flavor if desired.
  • 2.5 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Pink Frosting
  • 1/2 cup butter Softened to make the frosting creamy.
  • 2 cups powdered sugar Add to achieve desired consistency.
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream Add slowly to avoid runniness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 drop pink food coloring Add for color.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the soft butter and granulated sugar until creamy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, plus almond extract if using, and mix well.
  4. Sprinkle in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir just until there are no visible dry ingredients.
  5. Scoop the dough into thick balls and lightly flatten into a tall puck shape.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers still look soft.
  2. Cool completely before frosting to keep the frosting fluffy.
Frosting
  1. For the frosting, beat the soft butter and powdered sugar together, adding milk slowly until you reach spreadable consistency.
  2. Mix in vanilla extract and pink food coloring.
  3. Frost the cooled cookies and allow the frosting to set for 20 to 30 minutes.

Notes

For a thicker cookie, do not flatten too much. If gifting, pack them alone or layer with parchment paper between layers. They freeze well without frosting.
