Message In A Cookie

What would be better than having homemade decorated cookies along with good food on Christmas? I know Christmas has passed and I'm late on sharing this recipe, but hey, you can practice and make it for other occasions or next Christmas!!

Beat in butter and sugar at medium speed until fluffy.
Beat in eggs (one at a time), vanilla and almond extract.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt
Gradually add the dry mixture into wet mixture, beating untill smooth
Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hr or you can leave it over night
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare 2 baking sheets. If you use non-stick baking sheets, no need to use parchment paper. If not, parchment paper is highly recommended.
Get a smooth surface area ready for the dough. Flour the area so that the dough won't stick when you roll it.
Roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Cut with assorted cookie cutters and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
Bake for 10 mins or until lightly brown on the edges.
Let cool for 2mins on baking sheet and paint cookies with Edible Paint Icing
