Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
2. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.

Step 2: Incorporate Dry Ingredients

1. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 3: Color the Dough

1. Divide the dough into separate bowls, depending on how many colors you want.
2. Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each portion and mix until the desired color is achieved.

Step 4: Shape the Cookies

1. Roll each colored dough portion into long ropes of equal length.
2. Place the ropes side by side and gently twist them together.
3. Roll the twisted dough into a spiral shape to resemble unicorn poop.
4. Sprinkle with edible glitter or colorful sprinkles if desired.

Step 5: Bake

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place the shaped cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
4. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
