Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes until fluffy.
Gradually reduce the speed, adding the egg and egg yolk, mixing until combined. Then add the vanilla and almond extracts, mixing until fully incorporated.
On low speed, add the dry ingredients in half-cup increments, scraping the bowl as needed until no flour streaks remain. Finally, mix in the jimmies sprinkles.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Scoop the cookie dough using a #40 scoop (two tablespoons), placing them on the prepared sheet. Chill the cookies in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight.

Notes

For lighter cookies, consider using clear vanilla extract.
Allow the cookies to chill properly to ensure they hold their shape while baking.
Adjust the size of your cookie scoop for smaller or larger cookies as desired.
