  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract or vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Step 4: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the almond or vanilla extract.
  • Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Step 6: Gently fold in the rainbow nonpareils until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Step 7: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Step 8: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden.
  • Step 9: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
