Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the large egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix until fully combined, about 30 seconds.

Gradually add all-purpose flour and salt, folding until no dry clumps remain.

If using, divide the dough and incorporate gel food coloring to achieve desired shades.

Fill a cookie press with the dough and press onto prepared baking sheets.

Decorate with sprinkles if desired before baking.

Bake cookies for 5-8 minutes until edges are lightly golden. For softer cookies, check on the lower end of the baking time.

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
