Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add in cream cheese, egg, vanilla extract, almond extract. Mix together until combined.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix into the large bowl on slow to medium speed, adding in a little at a time, until evenly moistened.
Step 4
Place sprinkles or nonpareils in a small bowl. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, roll cookie dough into balls (about 1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons of dough or to preference. You can make little cookies or extra large!)
Step 5
Roll the dough in the sprinkles, leaving the bottom of the ball sprinkles (no sprinkles on the bottom section). BUT, cover the rest with as many sprinkles as possible - the more the better - and place on the cookie sheet about 2 inches or so apart. (the cookies will spread a bit, so leave space!)
Step 6
Use the bottom of a glass and gently press down on the cookie to slightly flatten it. You want them between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch thick.
Step 7
Bake in the oven for approximately 10-12 minutes (every oven cooks differently so watch them, mine took closer to 12 minutes, but you don't really want them to brown).
Step 8
Let cool on pan for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
