- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and almond extracts.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a thick dough forms.
- Divide dough into portions and knead in gel food coloring until evenly distributed.
- Wrap dough portions and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll dough into balls and coat each in powdered sugar. Place on baking sheet 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until tops crack but centers remain soft.
- Cool on baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
