Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/3 cups white sugar

  3. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and 1 1/4 cups of sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) to the butter mixture and beat until smooth.

  9. Cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
