Mix the Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Add in 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract. Mix until well combined.

Add the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Bake and Decorate
