📝 Preparation Steps
1
Butter a 13 by 9-inch baking dish** and line with 2 sheets of parchment paper (one horizontally and one vertically. I also like to butter between parchment sheets so they stick) leaving a 1-inch over hang on all sides, set aside.
2
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer cream together butter and sugar until well combined (not light and fluffy, just well blended). Mix in almond extract.
3
With mixer set on low speed slowly add in flour and mix until combined (it will take a while and will appear dry and sandy at first but it will start to come together). Mix in 2 1/2 Tbsp of the sprinkles.
(226g) salted butter, (cold and diced into 1 Tbsp pieces*)1 cupTbsp (42g) nonpareils sprinkles, (divided)3 1/2
4
Press dough into an even layer in prepared baking dish (I did it with my hands first then used the bottom of a flat measuring cup to help smooth it out).
5
Sprinkle remaining 1 Tbsp sprinkles over top and lightly press into dough. Chill dough in refrigerator ⏱️ 30 minutes. Meanwhile preheat oven to 350 degrees.

6
Lift dough from pan using parchment overhang on all sides. Cut into 1/2-inch squares using a large sharp knife***.
7
Transfer about 1/3 of the cookies to an unbuttered baking sheet**** and scatter cookies out spacing cookies 1/2-inch apart.
8
Bake in preheated oven ⏱️ 8 - 12 minutes (keep remaining that aren't currently baking refrigerated).
9
Repeat process with remaining bites, adding them to a cool baking sheet. Cool completely then transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature.
