Prepare Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Gradually mix in dry ingredients until a smooth dough forms.

Chill Dough: Divide the cookie dough into two equal discs, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets by lining with parchment paper.

Shape Cookies: Roll out one disc of dough to about ¼ inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes and cut out centers to create the stained glass effect.

Add Candies: Crush hard candies into small pieces and fill centers of cookie cutouts carefully.

Bake: Place cookies on baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are lightly golden.

Cool & Serve: Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
