Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until well blended.

In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well, then stir in vanilla and almond extracts.

Fold the dry ingredients into the creamy mixture slowly until a thick dough forms.

Divide the dough, add gel food coloring as desired, and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Roll tablespoon-sized balls of dough in powdered sugar and place them on the baking sheet.

Bake for 10–12 minutes until tops crack and edges are set. Cool for 5 minutes before transferring.
