- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 1/2 cup sprinkles or colored sugar for decorating
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Mix well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then roll in sprinkles or colored sugar to coat.
- Place cookies on prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes

- For softer cookies, reduce baking time by 1-2 minutes.
- Dough can be chilled for 30 minutes if too sticky to handle.
