In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter [adjustable](¾ cup, i.e. 1 ½ sticks) and granulated sugar (¾ cup)[/adjustable] on medium speed for 20-30 seconds. Mix in egg [adjustable](1 large), vanilla extract (2 teaspoons), and almond extract (1 teaspoon). Add in baking powder (1 teaspoon), salt (½ teaspoon), and all-purpose flour (2 cups)[/adjustable] and mix until combined.

Transfer to a flour-covered surface and use a rolling pin to roll the dough 3/8" to 1/2" thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out dough.

Bake at 350℉ for 8-10 minutes. Depending on size of your cookie cutter and thickness of dough, you may need to bake for a few extra minutes (small cookies less than 2" will bake for less time, closer to the 8 minutes). Allow to cool before decorating.

Spread or pipe frosting on top of cooled sugar cookies and decorate as desired, using the tips and tricks in the blog post above!

Store in airtight container for 2-3 days or freeze for later.
