Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
0.5 cup Unsalted butter
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
0.5 cup Unsalted butter
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
0.5 cup Unsalted butter
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and drizzly.
0.5 cup Unsalted butter
Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over them.
Allow the glaze to set before serving.
