Sugar Cookie Dough
    1     cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
    1 1/2     cups granulated sugar
    1     egg
    1 1/2     teaspoons vanilla extract
    1/2     teaspoon almond extract (optional)
    2 3/4     cups all-purpose flour
    1     teaspoon salt
In large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and extracts; mix well. Combine flour and salt; add to butter mixture, one cup at a time. Beat until well blended. Do not chill dough. Divide dough in half; use one half each for Sweet Love Cookies and Got a Crush on You Cupcakes.
