  • In a medium size mixing bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda and corn starch. Mix to combine and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment OR large mixing bowl with hand mixer, combine butter and sugars. Cream on medium high speed for at least 2 minutes until well combined.
    With the mixer on low speed, add in 1 egg and 1 egg yolk, almond extract and vanilla extract. Turn to medium and mix until well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Add in about half of the flour mixture to the bowl with the wet mixture and mix on medium speed for 15-30 seconds. Then add in the remaining flour mixture and blend on medium speed for another 15-30 seconds until just combined. Do not over mix.
  • Then add in ½ to ¾ cup of sprinkles and mix on the lowest speed for about 5 seconds until well distributed throughout the dough.
  • Cover the mixture with cling film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to overnight before baking.

  • When you are ready to bake the cookies preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
    Add about ½ a cup of sprinkles to a rimmed plate or shallow bowl.
    Using a cookie scoop, measure out about 1.5 tbsp of dough and roll into a rough ball. Then gently roll the top and sides of the dough ball in the sprinkles and place (bare side down) on a parchments lined baking sheet,
    Bake the cookies at 350 degree for 8-9 minutes then remove from the oven.
    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
