Ingredients:

• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
• Sprinkles or icing for decoration (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) to the butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. If desired, press some sprinkles onto the tops of the cookie balls for decoration.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will look a bit underbaked but will continue to set as they cool.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
