Classic Iced Snowflakes are delightful holiday cookies that bring the magic of winter to your dessert table. With their intricate snowflake designs and crisp icing, these cookies not only taste delicious but also serve as beautiful decorations. They are perfect for sharing with friends and family or adding to festive cookie platters.

Cooking Steps Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until well blended, then set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until it becomes light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
4. Add Egg and Extracts: Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter mixture until fully incorporated.
5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter mixture, mixing on low speed just until the dough comes together and is well combined.
6. Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will help the cookies hold their shape when baking.
7. Roll and Cut the Dough: Once chilled, remove the dough from the fridge. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Use a snowflake cookie cutter to cut out shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
8. Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
9. Prepare the Icing: In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar with the milk, whisking until the icing is smooth and has a thick consistency. Add food coloring if desired for a festive touch.
10. Decorate the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cooled, use a piping bag or a small offset spatula to spread or pipe the icing onto the cookies. Allow the icing to set before serving.
11. Serve and Enjoy: Once the icing has dried, your Classic Iced Snowflakes are ready to be enjoyed. They make a perfect holiday treat or gift for loved ones!
