Sara's fluffy sugar cookies

Who doesn't love a good sugar cookie? I know I do. So here is our all time favorite sugar cookie recipe.

COOKIE DOUGH...

2 cups of unsalted butter, room temp.

2 cups of sugar

6 eggs

2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

3 teaspoons of almond extract (you an use less if you would like but I LOVE the flavor. Also if you have a nut allergy you can use vanilla or omit the almond extract all together.)

7 cups of flour

1 teapoon of salt

6 teaspoons of baking powder (this helps them stay fluffy)

FROSTING...

1 cup of room temp unsalted butter

1 cup of room temp cream cheese

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 teaspoons almond extract

1-1.5 cups of powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS...

Use your Kitchen aid mixer with the paddle attachment. Mix the room temp butter, eggs and sugar together on the low setting. Next, add your vanilla and almond extract. Slowly add the baking powder and salt. Finally, add your flour in one cup at a time and mix your dough slowly. Wrap your dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for about an hour. If your in a rush stick it in your freezer for about 30 minutes. This will prevent your dough from spreading when baking your cookies. After an hour roll out your dough, pretty thick and cut your cookies. Bake at 375* for 8-10 min.
