1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 egg yolk
1 egg
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder

Directions

1.Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in vanilla and egg yolk until combined, then beat in egg; beat until smooth. 
2.Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir into butter mixture until evenly mixed. Form into a flattened ball, wrap well with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 2 hours to overnight.
3.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
4.Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thickness on a floured work surface. Cut into shapes using cookie cutters and place onto prepared baking sheets.
