Ingredients

Cookies

  • 2 cups (248g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon butter extract
  • ¼ cup (85g) nonpareils (any colors)

Coating

  • cup (67g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (57g) powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Cream butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer, until light and fluffy. Mix in eggs and both extracts. Add dry ingredients and mix until smooth, then mix in nonpareils.
  • Place granulated sugar and powdered sugar in two separate small bowls.
  • Scoop 1-tablespoon balls of cookie dough and roll them first in the granulated sugar to coat then in the powdered sugar. Make sure to give them a heavy coating of the powdered sugar. Place them 2-inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until cracked on top, golden on the bottom and no longer glossy. Cool at least 10 minutes before removing from cookie sheet.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. You can freeze these for up to 2 months but note that the cracked powdered sugar on top may dissolve during thawing.

Notes

Tip: If you don’t have or can’t find butter extract, try these with almond extract instead! Or omit both vanilla and butter extracts and use 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or the seeds from one vanilla bean. You can also use cake batter extract if you can find it.
