Start by beating the butter until it is creamy and smooth.
Add sugar and beat on high until smooth.
Then add your egg, vanilla and almond extract. Beat until fully blended.
In a separate bowl, mix together your flour, baking powder and salt..
Slowly start to mix your flour mixture in with your wet ingredients, a little at a time..
Once your dough is formed, devide it into 2. Set one half side and add your food coloring to the other half. (I added about 8 drops to get the color green that I wanted. You'll have to add a little at a time until you're satisfied with the color.).
Once your colored dough is blended, roll both batches of dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and let cool in your fridge for 30 mins..
When finished cooling, roll both balls of dough flat, into a rectangular shape. Try to keep them the same size and shape. Once they are rolled out, put one on top of the other and slightly roll again with rolling pin..
Then roll your dough into a "log.".
Cover with plastic wrap and cool for another 30 minutes.
Once cooled, roll your log of dough into your sprinkles..
Cover in plastic wrap and cool again, for 20 minutes..
Cut log every half inch.
