Instructions

1. Prepare the dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
2. Combine ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture until a soft cookie dough forms.
3. Create the colors: Divide the dough into equal portions. Add different food colors to each portion and knead gently until evenly colored.
4. Make the spiral: Roll each colored dough portion into thin rectangles. Stack the layers together and gently roll into a log shape to create the spiral pattern.
5. Chill the dough: Wrap the cookie dough log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm.
6. Slice and bake: Cut the dough into 1/4-inch slices and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
7. Cool and decorate: Allow cookies to cool completely before adding sprinkles, chocolate drizzle, or extra decorations.
