Ingredients
Scale
- 8 tablespoons butter (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- ½ cup (120 grams) white sugar
- ¼ cup (50 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- ½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg and 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 2 cups (240 grams) flour
- ¾ cup (125 grams) rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F while you melt butter. Let it cool for 15 minutes before step two.
- Cream cooled melted butter, vanilla and almond extracts, and sugars together in your mixing bowl for 3 minutes.
- Stop the mixer and add your salt, baking powder, and baking soda as well as your egg and egg yolk. Mix for about 45 seconds on medium speed.
- Stop the mixer to add your flour, mixing 30 more seconds on medium speed.
- Pause the mixer to add sprinkles to the bowl, resuming mixing until they’re well-combined (about 30 seconds).
- Scoop small (about ⅔ the size of a golf ball) round portions of your cookie dough onto ungreased aluminum baking sheets, with about 2 inches between each of them. Bake for 10-11 minutes.
- Transfer cookies to cooling racks after they’ve sat on the baking sheets about 10 minutes outside of the oven and are firm enough to handle.
