Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract; mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder before gradually adding it to the wet mixture until just combined.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness and cut into desired shapes.

Place the cutouts on ungreased baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are lightly golden.

Cool on wire racks before decorating.
