Gather your ingredients: gluten-free all-purpose flour, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using).

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the gluten-free flour, salt, and both extracts, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
