Making Christmas Cookies can be simple and fun if you follow these steps carefully:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
4. Add Eggs and Extracts: Mix in the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract until fully incorporated.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: If desired, fold in the chocolate chips and sprinkles for added flavor and festive flair.
7. Scoop the Dough: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
10. Decorate (optional): Once cooled, decorate with icing, sprinkles, or any toppings you like for added holiday cheer.

By following these steps, you’ll create delicious Christmas Cookies that everyone will enjoy!
