Sprinkle Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups (355g) all-purpose flour (scoop and level to measure)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened but still slightly firm
  • 1 1/4 cups (250g) granulated sugar
  • 2 oz. (56g) cream cheese, softened but still slightly firm
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 3/4 - 1 cup sprinkles (nonpareils, jimmies or colored sugar sprinkles)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment blend butter, sugar, and cream cheese until well combined.
  • Mix in egg, vanilla extract and almond extract.
  • Add in flour mixture and mix until combined (in higher humidity you may need to chill dough 30 minutes if it’s too sticky to work with).
  • Place sprinkles in a small mixing bowl.
  • Scoop dough out 1 1/2 Tbsp at a time and shape into balls then roll through sprinkles. Transfer to baking sheets spacing 2-inches apart.
  • Flatten cookies about halfway using the bottom of a cup or glass.
  • Bake one sheet at a time in preheated oven, about 9 minutes (cookies should appear slightly under-baked).
  • Let cool on baking sheet then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container.
