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

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon of almond extract.

Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until a thick dough forms.

Divide the dough and tint with gel food coloring. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

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

Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set and tops crackle. Allow to cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack.
