In the large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter on medium-low speed until it is creamy and lightened in color. Add l/2 cup of the granulated sugar along with the light brown sugar, and mix for 1 minute, then mix in the egg yolk and the extracts. 3. Remove the bowl from the mixer. Using a wooden spoon or oversized rubber spatula, work 1 cup of flour at a time into the dough, being careful not to overmix.

In a small bowl, mix the egg white with a fork until frothy, then spread evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with the sliced almonds.
