Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt
In a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together the room temperature butter and the sugar. Beat for 3 to 6 minutes until light and fluffy ensuring that you beat plenty of air into the butter.
1 1/2 cups sugar, 14 tablespoons unsalted butter
Add the eggs, one at a time. Then add the vanilla extract and the almond extract.
2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon almond extract
Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Turn the mixer on low, beating for about 10 seconds. Now turn the mixer on high for 2 to 3 seconds or just until all of the flour is combined. You may need so scrape down the mixing bowl and beat another 2 to 3 seconds.
Gently stir in the sprinkles.
1/2 cup sprinkles
Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out the cooke dough, roll into balls and lightly press down on the prepared baking sheet. Place the cookie dough balls 2 inches apart to account for spreading.
Bake for 10 minutes, rotating once in the middle, or until the edges of the cookies just barely begin to turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and use a spatula to transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
