Method

Using an electric mixer, blend first 3 ingredients until smooth. Add egg and extract. Blend until mixture is light and fluffy, almost like a spreadable frosting consistency. Slowly add flour, about 1 cup at a time. The cookie dough will be sticky. Separate dough into flat rounds; wrap between plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour or in freezer for 30 minutes. Roll dough flat to desired thickness. Cut with cookies cutters and bake at 325 degrees to desired doneness.
