Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Stir flour and sugar in a mixing bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
Stir in vanilla and almond extracts. Form mixture into a ball and knead until smooth.
Pat or roll dough into an 8-inch circle in an increased cookie sheet. Using your fingers, press to make a scalloped edge. Brush surface with milk.
Using a sharp knife, cut dough into 12 or 16 wedges. Do not separate wedges. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or just until edges are lightly browned. Cut into wedges again. Remove and cool on wire rack.
