- ¼ cup shortening
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 2 ½ cups AP flour
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- In a large bowl mix the butter and shortening until fluffy. Add the sugar, baking powder and salt; mix until combined.
- Mix in the egg, egg yolks, and vanilla until combined, scraping sides of the bowl.
- Mix in the flour until combined, forming a soft dough.
- Remove ¾ cup of the dough to a small bowl and add the sifted powdered sugar, cocoa powder and melted butter. Mix well to combine
- Add the ¼ tsp. of almond extract to the remaining dough.
- Measure out 1 tablespoon of almond-flavored dough and make 25 balls with the dough. Next measure out 1 teaspoon of the chocolate dough and roll into 25 1" balls.
- Flatten the almond flavored dough and place a chocolate dough ball in the center and mold the dough around it to make a round ball.
- Roll the ball in the nonpareil sprinkles and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 - 11 minutes at 375 degrees.
Notes
It is best to use the(round) nonpareil sprinkles instead of the jimmie type sprinkles.
Right after you roll the two cookie dough flavors into a ball immediately roll the ball into the sprinkles. The heat of your hands makes the dough sticky and the nonpareils will stick better.
