- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon almond extract, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
