Servings: persons

2/3 cups Butter, Softened
2/3 cups Shortening
1-1/2 cup Sugar
2 whole Eggs
2 teaspoons Almond Extract
2-3/4 cups Cake Flour
1 cup All-purpose Flour
1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Salt
Sugar Sprinkles Or Turbinado Sugar

1
In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, shortening, and sugar until combined. Mix to incorporate eggs and almond extract.
2
In another bowl, sift together the flours, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter mixture until fully combined.
3
Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
4
Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare 2 cookie sheets by lining them with parchment paper. Put your sugar sprinkles or turbinado sugar in a shallow bowl.
5
Portion out the dough using a medium cookie scoop. Roll the dough into balls, then roll the balls in sugar sprinkles or turbinado sugar to completely cover. Place cookies on cookie sheets spacing them about 1 inch apart. Using the palm of your hand, press down firmly on the top of the cookie to flatten a bit (cookies will not spread much while baking). Bake 8-10 minutes, or until still very soft in the center, but not doughy. When done remove the pans from the oven and remove cookies to a cooling rack.
