Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- 1 ¼ cups sugar
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup red, white, and blue colored sprinkles
- Additional red, white, and blue colored sprinkles for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter, sugar, and cream until it is light and fluffy.
- Add cream cheese, egg, and extracts. Mix until well combined.
- Add the salt, baking powder, and baking soda over the top and mix it in.
- Mix in the flour gradually until combined.
- Add 1/2 cup of your sprinkles to the dough.
- Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon measure, scoop up a dough ball and roll it between your hands into a 2-inch ball.
- Roll the cookie dough in the sprinkles to coat. Place the cookie on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Switch up the color of the sprinkles for other holidays!
- For perfectly evenly sized cookies, I highly suggest a cookie scoop or using a measuring spoon.
- Don't overmix the dough.
- If baking more than one sheet pan, do not place cookie dough on hot pans. Allow the pan to cool completely before placing more dough.
