The Kitchn: Festive Funfetti cookies a wonderful Christmas treat
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
4 cups (1 pound) powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/3 cup sprinkles, plus more for decorating if desired
Make the cookie layer:
1. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350 F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with a parchment sling, leaving several inches of parchment hanging over the 2 long sides of the pan. Spray the pan and parchment with cooking spray and set aside.
2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl; set aside.
3. Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. (Alternatively, use an electric hand mixer and a large bowl). Beat on medium speed until fluffy and lightened in color, about 3 minutes. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed.
