Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Wire cooling rack
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 3/4 tsp almond extract or vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup colored sugar orange, black, or purple
Instructions
- Beat the softened butter and sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes.
- Mix in the egg and almond extract until well combined.
- Stir in the flour just until incorporated.
- Divide the dough in half. On a plastic‑wrap‑covered surface, press each half into an 8‑inch square.
- Sprinkle patches of colored sugar over the dough. Use the plastic wrap to roll it up tightly like cinnamon rolls, forming a log. Wrap and refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Slice the log into 1/4‑inch rounds and place 2 inches apart on the sheet.
- Bake 6–8 minutes until edges just turn golden. Cool 1–2 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.
