Roll and Cut Cookies

2 cups salted butter, softened

2 cups granulated sugar

2 large eggs

4 tablespoons whipping cream (or whole milk)

4 tablespoons pure vanilla

2 teaspoons almond extract

6 cups unsifted all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

Combine butter and sugar. Just make sure the mixture is smooth -no butter lumps.

In a small bowl mix egg, milk/cream, and extracts. Add this mixture all at once to the butter and sugar. Mix just until the egg is broken. The mixture will "curdle" but that's not a problem.
In another small bowl, mix the flour and baking powder. Add these dry ingredients to the liquid ingredients in the mixing bowl. Process to form dough.

Preheat the oven to 325° F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. The beauty of this dough is that it does not need to chill before using it. Simply flour a work surface. Knead the dough a few times to smooth it out and with a rolling pin, roll dough. Cut into desired shapes. The dough scraps can be used several times.
