  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
  4. Gradually add 1 cup packed light brown sugar, creaming until fluffy after each addition.
  5. Beat in 2 large egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in four additions, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
