Instructions

Whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping the bowl as needed.
Lower speed and add the egg, followed by the egg yolk, mixing until combined. Add vanilla and almond extracts and mix until incorporated.
On low speed, add dry ingredients half a cup at a time until no white streaks remain. Lastly, mix in the jimmies sprinkles until fully combined.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop dough with a #40 scoop (about two tablespoons) and place on the prepared sheet.
Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight.

Notes

For the best flavor, use room temperature butter eggs.
Using a clear vanilla extract helps maintain the cookie’s light color.
Chilling the dough enhances the cookie’s texture.
