Preheat oven to 350°F.
While the oven is preheating make the cookie dough. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
1 cup (222g) salted butter, 1 cup (230g) granulated sugar
Scrape the sides, add in the eggs, vanilla extract and almond extract. Beat until mixed.
2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp almond extract
Scrape the sides and add in the flour, & baking powder. Mix until thoroughly combined.
3 cups (456g) all purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder
Use a #12 scoop (approx 1/3 cup) to portion out the dough. Flatten each portion of cookie dough slightly with the palm of your hand prior to baking.
The cookies will spread a bit so make sure to leave room- I tend to only put 6 cookies per pan.
Bake at 350° for 11-13 minutes or until the centers of the cookies have puffed up and are no longer glossy.
Allow them to cool on the cookie sheet.
While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting.
Cream the butter until smooth. Slowly add in the powdered sugar, almond extract and milk until smooth and creamy.
1/2 cup (111g) salted butter, 3 cups (321g) powdered sugar, 1 tsp almond extract, 1-3 tbsp milk
Add 2-4 drops of neon pink food coloring, if desired.

Spread the frosting onto each cooled cookie.
Once the cookies have completely cooled, chill in the fridge until ready to serve. These cookies are served chilled.
