Ingredients

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3 to 4 tablespoons of milk (if needed)
Icing and sprinkles for decorating

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually blend in the dry ingredients until just combined. If the dough is too crumbly, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it holds together.
Roll Out: Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place them onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.
Bake: Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Let cool on wire racks before decorating.
Decorate: Once cooled, use icing and sprinkles to decorate the cookies as desired.
