Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
  • Beat butter, sugar, and egg together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in vanilla and almond extracts. Blend in flour, then use your hands to form a soft dough.
