Butter Cookies That Bob Loves

1. 1

   ["Preheat oven to 350F.", "Sift together bread flour, baking powder, and salt.", "Beat together butter, sugar, and extracts with an electric mixer at moderately high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and beat well. Add flour mixture and mix at low speed until just combined. Remove the beater and ""squish"" it into a collected ball with your hands.", "At this point, I use my cookie press to form the cookies, but you can also roll the dough into a log, chill it, then cut it in slices. Or you can just make small cookie balls and flatten them out slightly before baking.", "Either way, put the cookies about 1 1/2 inches apart on an un-greased cookie sheet.", "Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the edges are golden. If you want to ""eat 'em like Bob eats 'em,"" then you'll need to cook them an extra 5 to 8 minutes until they are a dark golden brown all over.", "Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Makes about 3 dozen cookies, unless you eat too much of the dough."]
