Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, cubed

1 tube gel food coloring, any color
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup multi-colored nonpareil decors

Instructions:

1. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugars in a food processor and process to mix. Add butter and process until the mixture has a cornmeal consistency. Add the vanilla and process until mixture just forms a ball.
2. Divide the dough in half and return one of the halves to the food processor. Add the almond extract, food coloring and 2 tablespoons of flour to the processor and process until just incorporated.
