Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In the bowl of your mixer, cream room temperature butter and sugar until smooth, at least 3 minutes
Beat in vanilla and almond extracts + egg
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Baking powder, salt & flour. I sifted all the dry ingredients.
Add a little bit of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until the dough pulls away from the sides of the mixer.
Bake at 350 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes. I cooked for 6 minutes and it made for the perfect sugar cookie and 4 days later they hardened a bit, but were still delicious.
