Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in vanilla and almond extracts, then gradually fold in the dry ingredients to form a thick dough.
- Divide dough into portions and add pastel gel food coloring to each, mixing until colors are even. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll tablespoon-sized balls of dough in powdered sugar until fully coated. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until tops crack and edges are set. Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
