  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar on medium speed, until light and fluffy. Add eggs, and vanilla and almond extracts; beat until well combined, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.

4. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients; mix until combined. Gently fold in sprinkles.
