Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using); beat until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls and roll them in the red, white, and blue sprinkles.
Place dough balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are just starting to turn golden.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

For best results, do not overbake; cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
You can use gel food coloring in the dough for extra patriotic flair.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
