Spritz Cookies

1 1/2 c butter
1 c sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 tsp almond extract
3 1/2 c flour

Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium high speed for 30 seconds.  Add sugar and baking powder.  Beat till combined, scraping bowl.  Beat in egg, vanilla, almond extract, and food coloring until combined.  Beat in as much of the flour as you can.

Force unchilled cookie dough though a cookie press onto an ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake in a 375 oven for 8-10 minutes.

Do not even THINK about doubling this-- it won't fit into a standard kitchen-aid mixer!
