Kittencal'S Slice N' Bake Refrigerator Cookies

• 1 cup butter, room temperature (no substitutes)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (can use 1 teaspoon)
• 2 tablespoons vanilla instant pudding mix
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• white sugar (optional)

1. In a mixing bowl cream the butter with sugar for about 3 minutes.
2. Add in egg yolk and both extracts; beat until no sugar granules remain.
3. Beat in vanilla pudding mix until combined.
4. In a small bowl combine the flour with baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture and beat until combined (the mixture will be dry and slightly crumbly).
5. Remove the dough to a surface and gently knead the dough until it comes together (this will take only a few seconds).
6. Roll into one large log or two smaller logs.
7. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until hard (about 4 or more hours).
8. Set oven to 350 degrees F.
9. Slice into slightly over 1/4-inch thickness (you may coat the slices in sugar if desired).
10. Place onto a greased baking sheet/s.
11. Bake for about 8 minutes or until light golden brown.
12. Allow to sit and harden slightly in the pan before removing (the cookies will harden upon sitting in the pan).
