10 -
½ cup festive sprinkles (red, green, and white)
# Directions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
02 -
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
04 -
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until fully combined.
05 -
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
06 -
Gently fold in the festive sprinkles with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
07 -
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on ungreased baking sheets approximately 2 inches apart.
08 -
Flatten each cookie ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your palm to create a thicker, round cookie shape.
09 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
10 -
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Notes:
01 -
Do not overmix the cookie dough to maintain a tender texture.
02 -
Ensure sprinkles are evenly distributed for a uniform festive appearance.
