In a large bowl, sift together flour and baking powder. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg yolks and extracts. Gradually add flour mixture and mix until blended. Add nuts (optional). With hands, roll dough into balls about the size of large walnuts.
Coat cookie sheets with vegetable oil spray and set the cookies 1 inch apart. Bake at 325° for 20 minutes or until just beginning to brown. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack.
Variations: Push your thumb into the cookie before baking and add an almond, 1/4 tsp. jam or marmalade, M&M candies, colored cinnamon sugar or other baking accents of your choice.
