Grease a 13x9" baking dish and line with parchment paper.
Cream butter and sugar in an electric mixer until combined.
Add in almond extract and stir until incorporated.
With mixer set on low speed slowly add in flour and mix until combined . It will take some mixing and may appear dry and crumbly at first but it will start to come together. Add a teaspoon or two of milk to help consistency if needed.
Fold in 2 and 1/2 tablespoons of sprinkles.
Press dough flat and even into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining sprinkles over the top (feel free to add more than the 1/2 tablespoon remaining).
Press them in to the top gently and chill in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes.
