1 cup unsalted softened butter
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 Egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract
2-1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
Frosting:
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 tsp. Vanilla
Milk
Food coloring as desired
Cream butter, sugar, egg, vanilla and almond extract in a large mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in flour, baking soda and cream of tartar until mixed. Divide dough in half. Cover and refrigerate dough 2 to 3 hours. (Dough can be refrigerated up to several days; soften slightly before rolling out.) Heat oven to 350 degrees. Have lightly greased baking sheets ready. Roll out half of dough on lightly floured surface to almost 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out Valentine shapes. Place cookies 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake until light brown on edges, 7 to 8 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
