• Heat oven to 375°F Mix half of the cake mix (dry), the butter, almond extract and egg in large bowl until smooth.
• Stir in remaining cake mix.
• Divide dough into halves.
• Roll each half 1/8 inch thick on lightly floured board. (I like using a half flour, half powdered sugar mix.).
• Cut into desired shapes.
• Or roll into 1-inch balls, place on ungreased cookie sheet and flatten with the bottom of a glass.
• Bake until edges are light brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Cool slightly before removing from cookie sheet.
• Cool completely.
• Ice with Buttercream Icing (I use Recipe #261024) and decorate, if desired, with sprinkles etc.
• Yields: 3 to 4 dozen cookies.
• TIP: Add sprinkles to the icing and mix well.
• Then ice cookies as usual. They are now decorated without a lot of the mess!
