September 26, 2026 by sfal0

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using).
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
Fold in the Halloween sprinkles.
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for firmer cookies that hold their shape better.
For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based butter substitute.
If you want thicker cookies, add an extra tablespoon of flour to the dough.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
