Italian Butterball Cookies

1 stick butter

¾ cup confectioners sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon almond extract

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 pinch salt

¼ cup confectioners sugar

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Beat together the butter and 3/4 cup confectioners sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and mix into the butter mixture until just incorporated. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheet spaced about 2 inches apart.

Bake in the preheated oven until firm, about 10 minutes. Cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Spread the 1/4 cup confectioners sugar on a plate; roll the cooled cookies in the confectioners sugar to coat.
