Circus Animal Sprinkle Cookies

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Bake Time: 12 minutes
Serves: 18 – 5.5 oz cookies

Ingredients:
2 C unsalted sweet cream butter, cold, cut into cubes
3 C sugar
4 large eggs
3 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp pure almond extract
2 tsp cornstarch
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 C cake flour
4 C flour
3 C chopped frosted circus animal cookies
4 C white chocolate chips
2 C rainbow jimmies sprinkles
18 muffin baking rings

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone
baking mat.
Using a standing mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time.
Beat in the vanilla until combined.
Using a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and cake flour.

Gradually whisk in the dry ingredients into the wet until combined and smooth.
Fold in the chopped frosted circus animal cookies, white chocolate chips and sprinkles.

Using a medium cookie scoop and kitchen scale, scoop some cookie dough out and weigh the
dough to 5.5 oz.
Place 6-7 muffin baking rings onto the cookie sheets.
Roll the dough into a ball and place the dough ball into a baking ring.                                            Gently press the dough ball into a thick disk in the ring.

Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes or until lightly golden around the sides.
The center will still be gooey and that’s okay because it’s the best part!
Allow to cool for 10 minutes before enjoying!
