Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk

Add in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into two equal parts, and shape each into a disc. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, sift the powdered sugar over the top of each cookie to create a snowy effect.
If desired, sprinkle some lemon or orange zest over the powdered sugar for an extra burst of flavor and color.
