1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
2 Beat butter, sugar, and egg together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in vanilla and almond extracts. Blend in flour, then use your hands to form a soft dough. Take about a teaspoon of dough at a time and roll into balls, logs, or "S" shapes. Place cookies 1 to 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely before dusting with confectioners' sugar.
