Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp almond extract provides that nostalgic bakery flavor

Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days. For a more authentic 'waxy' finish like the original brand, use high-quality candy melts instead of pure white chocolate. These can be made ahead and frozen (unfrosted) for up to 3 months.
