Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing until just combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed.
Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out one disc of dough to about ¼ inch thick and use cookie cutters to create shapes.
Place the cut cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Once baked, allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
For the icing, whisk egg whites with lemon juice or vinegar and gradually add powdered sugar until thick.
