Preheat the oven to 350℉.
Add butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer and cream together using the paddle attachment, or use hand beaters. 113 grams salted butter, 130 grams sugar
Add in the egg, vanilla extract, almond extract, and sourdough discard. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is combined. If the ingredients are cold, the mixture will likely curdle; you don't need to mix until smooth. 1 large egg, 75 grams sourdough discard, 2 grams almond extract, 75 grams sourdough discard
Add the dry ingredients to the mixture, including the flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until combined. 210 grams all-purpose flour, 3 grams salt, 3 grams baking powder
Using slightly damp hands, press the dough into a greased or parchment paper-lined 8x8-inch pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes until the top has lost its sheen. It will still be pale; don't wait until it is browned, or it will be overbaked.
Let the cookie bars cool in the pan or on wire cooling rack.
Cream together the butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. 113 grams salted butter, 240 grams powdered sugar, 30 grams milk, 3 grams vanilla extract
Once the cookie bars are cooled, top with the icing and sprinkles.
