In medium bowl, combine flour and baking powder.
In large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk and extracts.
Add flour mixture; mix well. Fill cookie press with dough and press 42 snowflake-shaped cookies, 30 flower-shaped cookies and six rectangular cookies, 2-1/4 in. long onto ungreased cookie sheet. May need to bake cookies in multiple batches.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool two minutes on cookie sheet; remove to cooling grid and cool completely.
