Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired.
