1 cup sugar
1 cup margarine or butter, softened
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Colored sugar
Mix 1 cup sugar; the margarine, milk, egg, vanilla and almond extract. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Divide 1 part into 12 equal pieces (keep remaining dough refrigerated.) Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon colored sugar on a board.
Roll each piece of dough on sugared board into pencil-like strip, about 10 inches long. Twist into pretzel shape on ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Bake until delicate golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
