Servings: 12 cookies
Calories: 209kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cake flour*
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 8 Tbsp butter room temperature
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 cup colorful sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line one baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat, set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine sugar, butter, vanilla and almond extracts. Beat on high until fluffy and light in color, about 2-3 minutes. With mixing speed on low, add egg and mix until just combined.
- In a medium size mixing bowl, combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, and cornstarch. Whisk together until combined. With mixing speed on low, gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until no flour pockets remain. Remove bowl from stand. Fold in sprinkles, if desired, or place dough into the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours.
- If you chose not to fold in the sprinkles, create balls from the chilled dough and roll in the sprinkles, completely covering the outside. Place on the prepared baking sheet and place in oven to bake for 8-10 minutes. The cookies should be slightly firm around the edges but look under-baked in the center (these are soft cookies and they should not brown).
- Remove from oven and allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
*Make Your Own Cake Flour: Cake flour is key to making these cookies nice and fluffy. If you don't have any cake flour on hand you can make your own by measuring out 1 cup of all purpose flour and then removing 2 Tablespoons and add in 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch in its place and whisk it all together.
You can store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, or in your fridge for up to 1 week. If you want to freeze these cookies you can do so in your freezer for up to 2 months.
Storing Cookie Dough: You can make dough ahead of time and roll it into balls (do not roll into sprinkles yet) and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. If you are baking from frozen dough balls, just add an extra minute or so to your cooking time.
