Delicious Dunkers

Ingreadient:

• 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar 
• 1 large egg yolk 
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract 
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting 
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch 
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 
• One 8-ounce block cream cheese, at room temperature
• One 8-ounce container frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature 
• 1 teaspoon cake batter flavoring 
• 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles, plus more for sprinkling 

Direction

1. Make the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a stand mixer until creamy. Add the egg yolk and extracts and beat until combined. Combine the flour, cornstarch and salt in a separate bowl. Add to the batter and beat until combined. Shape the dough into a disc.
3. Roll on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut the dough into 3-by-1/2-inch strips using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
4. Place the cut-out cookie sticks on the prepared baking sheets 1 inch apart. Transfer the baking sheets to the freezer for 15 minutes. (This will help prevent the cookies from spreading.) Bake until golden brown around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
5. Meanwhile, make the dip. Beat the cream cheese, whipped topping, confectioners' sugar, butter and cake batter flavoring in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Stir in the rainbow sprinkles. Sprinkle additional sprinkles on top, if desired. Serve the dip with the cookies.
