Ingredients
(links below are the gluten free & celiac safe products I used in this recipe)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 1/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 3/4 cups gluten free 1:1 flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 cup rainbow “jimmies” sprinkles
Instructions
step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
step 2
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter and both sugars. Mix on medium-high speed for about 2 to 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix on low speed until well combined.
step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
step 4
With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture and mix just until the dough starts to come together. Add the sprinkles and pulse until combined.
step 5
Using a #24 cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart (you will get 6 cookies per baking sheet).
step 6
Bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until the edges are just lightly golden. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
