Directions:
STEP 1: Combine 1 cup butter and sugar in a bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Add egg, milk, and almond extract; continue beating until well mixed. Add flour and baking powder. Beat at low speed until well mixed.
STEP 2: Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a ball; flatten slightly. Wrap each in plastic food wrap; refrigerate at least 2-3 hours until firm.
STEP 3: Heat oven to 400°F.
STEP 4: Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface, one-half at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8- to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with a 3-inch round cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets
STEP 5: Bake 6-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to a cooling rack. Cool completely.
STEP 6: Combine powdered sugar, 2/3 cup butter, vanilla, and enough whipping cream for desired frosting consistency in a bowl. Beat at medium speed until well mixed. Reserve a portion of white frosting. Tint remaining portions of frosting with desired food colors. Spread or pipe frosting as desired.
