Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cream together the butter and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in milk, vanilla, and almond extracts.
In another bowl, whisk together flour and salt; gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
Divide dough into two portions; add purple food coloring to one and black to the other. Mix well.
Roll each colored dough into rectangles about 1/4 inch thick. Stack one on top of the other, then roll tightly into a log and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Slice the chilled log into 1/4 inch rounds, place on a lined baking sheet, sprinkle with colored sprinkles, and bake for about 10 minutes or until edges are golden.
