Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, divided
  • 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. almond extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup Christmas sprinkles (jimmies preferred)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Add butter and 1/3 cup powdered sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Cream until very light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add vanilla extract and almond extract and mix.
  • Add flour, cornstarch and salt to the mixer and mix until just combined. Overmixing causes tough cookies. Stir in the sprinkles by hand.
  • Using a tablespoon measuring spoon, portion out the dough. Roll into balls and place 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake cookies for 16 to 18 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet for a minute.
  • Place remaining 2/3 cup into a pie plate or cake pan. While still warm, roll the cookies in the powdered sugar. Place on a wire rack and allow to cool completely. Once cooled, give another generous roll in the powdered sugar. This second roll will give the cookies that perfect powdered sugar coating.
