Norwegian Butter Cookies
['3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour', '1/2 teaspoon baking powder', 'Rounded 1/2 teaspoon salt', '3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, softened', '1 cup sugar', '1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract', '1/2 teaspoon almond extract', '1 large egg, lightly beaten', 'a cookie press fitted with a star', 'bow', 'circle', 'or ribbon plate*']
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Beat together butter, sugar, and extracts in a large bowl with an electric mixer at moderately high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and beat well. Add flour mixture and mix at low speed until just combined.
Quarter dough and put 1 piece into cookie press. Holding press slightly above ungreased baking sheets, squeeze out dough to form cookies (follow manufacturer's instructions), spacing them about 3 inches apart. Form more cookies with remaining dough in same manner.
Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven until edges are golden, 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer with a metal spatula to racks to cool.
