Instructions
To start, combine the flour, salt, cornstarch, and baking soda in a bowl, whisking them together before setting the mixture aside. Next, in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then, mix in the egg and vanilla until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until almost fully incorporated. At this point, add the Halloween sprinkles and mix just until everything is evenly combined. Using a medium cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons), portion the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, then gently press extra jimmies onto the tops of each dough ball. Afterward, place the baking sheet in the fridge to chill for one hour. When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F and transfer the cold baking sheet straight into the oven. Bake the cookies for 11–12 minutes, just until the edges are set—the centers will still be soft but will continue baking on the cookie sheet for another 5 minutes. Finally, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
