Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and white sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the mixture. Beat until well combined.
- Gradually add in the dry ingredients, blending on low speed until just combined. If too crumbly, add a splash of milk.
- Shape the dough into teaspoon-sized balls and arrange on ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each ball and sprinkle with colored sugar or festive sprinkles.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool on sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.

Notes
Ensure butter is softened, not melted, and watch the baking time closely to maintain the soft texture.
