Spritz Cookies

1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
candied candy sprinkles
melted chocolate, for dipping

Mix butter, sugar, egg and almond extract until well mixed.
In seperate bowl, mix all purpose flour, baking powder and salt.
Mix dry ingredients gradually into wet until well incorporated.
Press dough through a cookie press onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
I like pressing mine through a star shape, and making candy cane shapes or 2 inch straight line.
Bake on 350 for 8 to 10 minutes.
Cool and dip ends into melted chocolate and sprinkle with candied sprinkles.
Place on waxed paper to let chocolate harden.
