Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1.5 teaspoons almond extract
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 0.75 teaspoons baking soda
  • pinch salt
  • 0.75 cup sprinkles (jimmies)

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, combine butter and sugar; beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add egg, vanilla, and almond extracts; mix until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture; beat until just combined. Fold in sprinkles.
  3. Using a 2-inch cookie scoop, form heaping two-tablespoon mounds. Place on a plate, flatten slightly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with Silpats or spray with cooking spray. Arrange cookie mounds, spaced at least 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake for 8 minutes, edges set but cookies remain white and soft. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
  6. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
