• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 3/4 cup cake flour

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Cream together butter and cream with electric mixer. 
2. Add sugar and beat for 1 minute. Add egg and beat to combine. Add extracts and beat until combined. Add in baking powder and cake flour (in three sections), mixing to combine. 
3. Once incorporated, refrigerate dough for at least an hour.
4. Dough is sticky so use flour on your hands to roll out 1-2 inch balls. You can use the bottom of a cup/glass dipped in flour to gently flatten the balls. Don't flatten too much or the cookies won't puff up.
