Ingredients

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (I recommend imitation vanilla)
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (see notes on how to heat treat for safety)
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • 2 ½ tablespoon sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a mixer with paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
  • Add vanilla, almond extract, and salt and blend until combined.
  • With mixer on low, slowly add flour to bowl until well combined. Keep mixer on low and add 2 tablespoon milk in until dough comes together. If cookie dough seems too thick, you can add an additional tablespoon of milk.
  • Fold in sprinkles if using.

Notes

  • To ensure flour is safe for eating (raw flour can cause foodborne illness), you should bake it before using. Just spread flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes. Let cool before using in cookie dough.
