Preheat oven to 400*F’’ Prepare 2 baking sheets and set aside. This can be done by greasing them with butter or Crisco, non-stick spray, parchment paper, non-stick foil or a baking mat. Whatever your preferred method is. Cream together sugar and butter for 3 minutes or until fluffy. Add eggs and mix again. Add salt, and baking powder. Blend. Add 1/4 cup buttermilk, vanilla and almond extract. Blend. Add 2 1/2 cups flour (1/2 cup at a time). Add remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk. Then remaining flour (for a total of 4 1/2 cups). Batter should be smooth, elastic like and slightly sticky. If too sticky, add more flour a little at a time (up to 1 cup - be careful to not put TOO much flour in the dough). When ready to roll out, sprinkle surface with powdered sugar, not flour. These are SUGAR cookies. Roll them out in sugar! Roll to 1/4 in thickness. Cut out with favorite shape and transfer to prepared pan. Bake 10 minutes. Watch carefully as every oven bakes differently. You want the cookies to be a hint of golden under them, not dark golden. Edges should not start to show golden, you’ll have to gently flip a cookie to see for sure. Allow cookies to cool completely then frost.

Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour for easier handling. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Cut with desired cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Decorate as desired. Bake at 400 degrees 5-9 minutes until edges are very light golden. (In my oven, this takes about 6 minutes.) Be careful not to overbake (if you like soft cookies, as I do.). Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.
