Preparation Steps

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
• Gently press a few toasted sliced almonds onto the top of each cookie.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
