- •0.75 teaspoon vanilla extract
- •0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- •0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- •1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- •0.5 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Beat in remaining ingredients except flour until well blended.
- On low speed, beat in flour just until blended.
- Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle with sugar or almonds.
