1Egg
1tspVanilla extract
1tspAlmond extract
2 1/4cup (280 gms)All-purpose flour
2-3tbspMilk, lukewarmOptional

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or Silpat. You can also leave the tray unlined and ungreased.
Beat the softened butter and sugar in a large bowl, using an electric beater, until the mixture is fluffy and light.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix well.
Mix the flour in using a spatula. If the dough is very stiff, please add milk, one tablespoon at a time. The batter should be soft and have a pipable consistency.
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a wide star nozzle ( or a cookie press). Pipe the dough onto the baking tray. Decorate with the sprinkle of your choice, if using.
Bake for 10-12 minutes at 180C until pale golden. Cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before carefully transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are cooled, you can dip them in melted chocolate. Allow the chocolate set for 15-20 minutes.
