Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Shape the dough into balls, roughly 1.5 inches in diameter, and place on baking sheets.
  7. Ensure cookie dough balls have enough space to spread when baking.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden; centers may appear soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.
  11. Dip cooled cookies in melted chocolate and sprinkle with marshmallows and peppermint candies.
