These Snowflake Christmas Cookies are a festive and delectable treat that is ideal for the holiday season. The buttery and tender cookies are shaped like snowflakes and dusted with powdered sugar, giving the impression that they have been touched by a snowstorm.

Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 3/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/4 teaspoon almond extract. 1 tablespoon milk. Powdered sugar for dusting.

Instructions: Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium-sized bowl using a whisk. Put the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl and mix them together until they are light and fluffy. Add the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract and beat until everything is well mixed. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until a soft dough forms. Split the dough in half, cover each half with plastic wrap, and put them in the fridge for at least an hour. Warm your oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Spread out a piece of the chilled dough on a floured surface until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the cookies out with cookie cutters in the shape of snowflakes and place them on the baking sheet that has been cleared. Do the same things with the second piece of dough: roll it out and cut it. After the oven is hot, bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Then, move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the cookies to make them look like snowflakes after they are cool. Have fun with your tasty Snowflake Christmas Cookies!
