Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a small bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and white sugar until smooth and fluffy.

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.

Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully incorporated.

Take rounded teaspoonfuls of dough and roll them into small balls. Place them on ungreased cookie sheets.

Gently flatten each ball to about 1/4 inch thick.

Sprinkle colored sugar or sprinkles on top of each cookie.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden around the edges but still soft in the center.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
