Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup cake flour or another 1/2 cup regular flour
  • 2 Tbsp dry milk powder*
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup butter room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp white vanilla extract**
  • 1 tsp almond extract***
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles plus more for topping

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 350.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and mix well. Set aside.
  • In an electric mixer cream the butter sugar and brown sugar until very light and fluffy - about 5 minutes on medium-high speed.
  • Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla and almond. Mix very well again.
  • Add in the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Fold in the sprinkles.
  • Scoop onto parchment lined baking sheets (I use a 2 1/2 Tbsp scoop), rolling the top and sides of each dough ball into more sprinkles first, if desired.
  • Flatten the cookies slightly with a glass or your hand.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Notes

*optional
**brown or pure vanilla works too
***can reduce to 1/2 tsp or omit if you don’t like almond
