1Tb. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract

Directions:
1. mix flour, baking pwd, soda, and salt together
2. cream butter, sugar, and cream cheese
3. Add sour cream, eggs, vanilla, and almond extract. Blend to incorporate.
4. Add flour mixture and mix until combined
5.chill in refrigerator.
6. Roll out, cut in desired shape and bake 350 degrees for about 12 minutes or until edges are slightly browned. 

Glaze:
1 stick butter 
1/2c. milk plus 3 Tbs
