In large mixing bowl beat butter with sugar for 2 minutes.

Add in the egg, extracts and pink color.

On medium speed mix in flour, baking powder and salt.

Bake cookies in a 400-degree oven for 7-9 minutes.

Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet before moving cookies.

Use royal icing or other icing or frosting to decorate the angel cookie faces.
