Sugar Cut Outs

2 C butter
2 C sugar
1 egg
1 t vanilla
1 t almond extract
1 1/2 T baking powder
5 C flour

Cream the butter and sugar till light and fluffy.  Add the egg, vanilla and almond extract.  Mix well - add the baking powder.  Beat four in 1 cup at a time.  Refrigerate for at least an hour.  Roll 1/4" on lightly floured surface.  Cut in desired shapes.  Bake 350 for 8-10 min.  

I use meringue powder to make royal icing.
