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

In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

In a large bowl, beat together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract.

Gradually add the dry mixture to your wet ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms. Mix in gel food coloring as desired.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Scoop tablespoon-sized dough and roll into balls, coat each ball with powdered sugar, and place them on the baking sheet.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the tops crack and edges are set. Allow to cool before transferring to a wire rack.
