Ingredients
- 0.75 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup (packed) light brown sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 0.75 cup white chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 3
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix the dough.
Step 6
Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a medium cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy these bright and festive Birthday Cake Cookies with family and friends, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
