1 Tbsp. almond extract
4 tsp. baking powder
5-6 cups all-purpose flour

Add eggs, vanilla extract and almond extract and mix dough until light and fluffy.
Add baking powder and mix well.
Mix in the 6 cups of flour one cup at a time. Don't over-mix the dough - mix only until the flour is incorporated into the dough.
The dough when finished should be firm but not dry or crumbly. If the dough seems to dry, add a tiny bit of milk and mix again.

Bake in an oven 6-10 minutes depending on the size of the cookie cutter you used. (Smaller 6-7 minutes, Larger 9-10 minutes). You want them to be set and just barely beginning to be slightly brown on the edges.
Let your cookies cool and then frost!
