Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or baking mat
- In a large bowl, beat together butter, sugar, and brown sugar until well blended (using a stand mixer works best)
- Combine the baking soda and 1 tbsp hot water in a small bowl. Stir until the baking soda is dissolved
- Add the baking soda mix into the butter and sugar mixture. Add the vanilla and (optional) almond extract. Continue to mix until well blended
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt until well blended
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture
- Add the milk 1 tbsp at a time until the dough comes together. Form into a silky smooth ball
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, using additional flour as needed to avoid sticking. Lightly flour the top of the dough
- Roll out the dough to ¼-inch thickness. Use parchment paper between the rolling pin and dough to prevent sticking
- Using your favorite Halloween cookie-cutters, cut out the cookies
- Place cookies 1 inch apart on the lined baking sheet
- Bake for 10 - 15 minutes
- Allow cookies to completely cool on a wire rack before adding frosting
