Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth.
  • Beat in the vanilla extract and almond extract.
  • Add the dry yellow cake mix to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs.
  • Gradually add the beaten eggs to the dough, mixing until fully incorporated.
  • Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
  • Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft and gooey.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, generously dust the cookies with powdered sugar.

Notes

These cookies are best enjoyed fresh. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
