Cream together the butter and sugar for about a minute and a half. Then, add the egg and mix for an additional 90 seconds.
Add the butter extract and vanilla into the mixture and blend well.
Next, add the salt, baking soda, and baking powder and blend for an additional minute.
Lastly, add the flour and mix until the dough is soft and smooth. I prefer using a spoon for this part.

Scoop out balls of dough and roll them in colorful sugar or sprinkles and place them 3” apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
