Preheat the oven 350°F. In a small bowl, cream the shortening, 1/2 cup of sugar and the brown sugar, mixing until the blend is light and fluffy. Next, beat in the egg and almond extract. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt, and then gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed mixture and mix well.
