Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 cups powdered sugar (for decoration)
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk (for decoration)
  • Black decorating icing

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
  3. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
  4. Combine the Mixtures: Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Shape the Cookies: Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, place on ungreased cookie sheets, and flatten slightly. Use a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes.
