  4. Add the egg, then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts until fully combined.
  5. Combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  6. Color the dough by dividing it into portions and kneading in food coloring.
  7. Shape the colored dough into logs and twist them together.
  8. Slice the logs into rounds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  10. Cool the cookies on a wire rack and decorate with sprinkles if desired.

Notes

Chill the dough if too soft; you can also substitute butter for margarine or dairy-free alternatives.
