👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Grease a baking sheet.

Beat together the butter and 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth.

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract.

Stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and mix into the butter mixture until just incorporated.

Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheet spaced about 2 inches apart.

Bake in the preheated oven until firm, about 10 minutes.

Cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Spread the 1/4 cup confectioners sugar on a plate; roll the cooled cookies in the confectioners' sugar to coat.
