Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.
Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls and place them onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Decorate as desired once cooled.
