Ingredients
- 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 large egg white
- sugar sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Combine cake mix, butter, egg, vanilla, and almond extract in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until the mixture comes together into a sticky ball, 30 to 45 seconds.
- Roll the dough to 1/4- to 1/2-inch thickness on a lightly floured board with a lightly floured rolling pin. Use cookie cutters to stamp out shapes and place them 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. (You can reroll the dough scraps once and cut out more cookies.) Brush the cookies with egg white and decorate with sprinkles.
- Place one pan in the oven at a time. Bake until the edges of the cookies are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes for smaller cookies and 10 to 12 minutes for larger. Let the cookies rest on the cookie sheet for 1 minute, then remove to wire racks with a metal spatula to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- You can use butter cake mix instead of yellow and 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest instead of almond extract.
- For Snickerdoodles: Make the dough for Basic Sugar Cookies as directed. In a small bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (or to taste) and 1/4 cup white sugar. Roll the dough balls into this mixture before baking as directed.
- If you like to bake cookies in a convection oven, reduce the temp to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and reduce the baking time by a few minutes.
