Instructions
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.
