Pre-heat the oven to 350° F.
In a large mixing bowl, cream or mix together the softened butter and sugar.
Mix the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract into the creamed mixture.
In a separate large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, a little bit at a time.
Using a cookie scoop, take about a tablespoon of dough, and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the rest of the dough, placing the dough balls on an un-greased cookie sheet. Be sure to leave enough room between each cookie for the antlers.
Using a smooth bottomed glass, press each cookie flat.
Press your thumb into the center of each cookie, leaving enough room for eyes above and mouth beneath.
Fill each thumbprint with a tiny spoonful or dab of strawberry jam.
Break mini pretzels in half, and place one on each side of each thumbprint cookie, to serve as antlers.
Bake the cookies at 350° F for about 15 minutes, or 'til the cookies are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven, and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
After the cookies have cooled, use black decorating icing to add eyes and a little smile.
Finally, using a powder shaker, sprinkle the reindeer cookies with powdered sugar.
