Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cream the butter and sugar in a stand mixer for about 2 minutes or until fluffy. Add the vanilla, almond and egg. Beat well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Slowly add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Continue on low speed and add the jimmies and sprinkles. (Over mixing will cause the jimmies to bleed into the dough, so just mix to combine, then stop). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scoop dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 8 to 9 minutes. Watch closely at the end, because you don't want them to brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
