Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Colorful sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the oven is at the perfect temperature by the time your dough is ready. - Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes. - Add Wet Ingredients:
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the creamed mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. - Prepare Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agent and salt throughout the dough. - Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough. - Shape the Dough:
Roll the dough into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. - Add Sprinkles:
Slightly flatten each ball with your fingers or the back of a spoon and generously sprinkle the tops with colorful sprinkles. - Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake, as this can lead to a dry texture. - Cool:
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
