Preheat an oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter. Add the brown and regular sugar to the stand mixer and mix well.
Add one egg at a time to the butter and sugar mixture. Add the vanilla and almond extract.
Add the flour mixture and combine well. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Take a pan (I used a 9 inch square and 8 inch circle pan) and add the batter. Make sure the cookies are no thinner than 1 inch and no thicker than 2 inches.
Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the cookie sheets to cool completely.
Take your star shape cookie cutters and careful cut out the cookies.
