| Food coloring (various colors) | As needed |

Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that your cookies bake evenly.

- Cool the Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Add Egg and Extracts: Crack the egg into the butter-sugar mixture. Add the vanilla and almond extracts, and mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until everything is just combined. Be careful not to over-mix to guarantee soft cookies.
- Form the Dough: Gather the dough and shape it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will make the dough easier to work with and help prevent spreading during baking.
- Roll and Cut the Dough: Once chilled, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut shapes that resemble bows or any other festive shape you prefer.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the cut-out cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool the Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Icing: In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk until you achieve a smooth icing consistency. Divide the icing into different bowls if you want to color them and add food coloring as desired.
- Decorate the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cool, use a piping bag or a small spatula to decorate the cookies with your icing and sprinkles to resemble festive bows.
- Let Icing Set: Allow the decorated cookies to sit at room temperature until the icing hardens before storing or gifting them.
Enjoy your Festive Bow Cookies as a sweet treat during the holiday season!

Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to make certain it’s hot and ready for baking the cookies.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This mixture helps in achieving the right texture for your cookies. Set this mixture aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This process should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Combine Egg and Extracts: Add the large egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Mix in Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until everything is combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cookies soft.
- Chill the Dough: Shape the dough into a flat disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the dough will help prevent the cookies from spreading in the oven.
- Roll Out the Dough: After chilling, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thick. Use a cookie cutter shaped like a wrapped gift or a square to create the gift cookie shapes.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the cut-out cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges turn slightly golden.
- Cool the Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make Royal Icing: While the cookies are cooling, prepare the royal icing by combining powdered sugar, meringue powder, and water in a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture on high speed until thick and glossy.
- Color the Icing: Divide the royal icing into separate bowls, and add food coloring as desired. Mix well to achieve the desired colors.
- Decorate the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cool, use piping bags or a small spatula to decorate the cookies with the royal icing. You can outline and fill in the cookies to resemble wrapped presents, adding details like bows and gift tags as desired.
- Add Sprinkles: Before the icing dries, sprinkle decorative sprinkles on top for an extra festive touch.
- Let Icing Set: Allow the decorated cookies to sit at room temperature for several hours or overnight to let the royal icing harden completely.
- Serve and Share: Once the icing is set, your Wrapped Gift Cookies are ready to be enjoyed or gifted! Present them on a festive platter or in a decorative box to spread holiday cheer.
