All-purpose flour - 2 1⁄2 cups
Baking soda - 1⁄2 tsp
Baking powder - 1⁄2 tsp
Salt - 1⁄4 tsp
Granulated sugar - 3⁄4 cups
Brown sugar - 1⁄2 cup
Vanilla extract - 2 tsp
Almond extract - 1⁄2 tsp
Unsalted butter - 2 sticks
Eggs - 1
Bring butter to room temperature
Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (use 370 if high altitude).
In a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla and almond extracts and beat until just combined. Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients until just combined, scraping down edges. Do not overmix.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and leave generous space between them. Bake for ~10 minutes, until edges are just turning golden. Allow to cool completely before icing.
