Preheat oven to 375.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Beat in egg and extracts. Add baking powder and flour one cup at a time, mixing after each addition. Dough may be crumbly. If so, add dashes of warm water and mix until dough starts to adhere. Using hands, bunch dough into a stiff ball. Do NOT chill dough. Flour a surface and rolling pin well.

Divide dough in half. Roll each half about 1/8 inch thick.

Bake cookies on a lightly greased cookie sheet for about 8 min. (I like mine a little under done)

Decorate as desired!
