Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 13x18-inch rimmed baking sheet.
Combine white sugar, 1 cup butter, 8 ounces cream cheese, and egg in a large bowl, beat with an electric mixer until well mixed, about 4 minutes. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix in flour, baking powder, and baking soda until dough comes together.
Press dough evenly over the greased baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely, 10 to 20 minutes.
