Description

Ingredients

• 8 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar (I used ultrafine baking sugar)
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 1/2 cups cake flour (Im sure all purpose would be fine too)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup sprinkles, for rolling

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and almond extract and beat until well combined for about a minute, scraping sides as needed. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix into butter mixture until a dough forms. You may need to do the final mixing by hand as the dough will be thick.
• Roll dough into teaspoon sized balls and then roll dough balls in the sprinkles. Cookies will spread thin as they cook so make sure theyre spread about 2 inches a part. Bake in preheated oven for 9-11 minutes and remove when set but not yet turning brown.
• Allow cookies to remain on hot baking sheet for a couple of minutes and then transfer to wire cooling rack. Store in airtight container.
