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

- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Extracts: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, incorporate the vanilla and almond extracts, mixing until just combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just blended. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the cookies.
- Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will continue to firm up once removed from the oven.
- Cool Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a medium bowl, mix the confectioners’ sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk, one teaspoon at a time.
