Ingredients

Sugar Cookie

  • 1 box white cake mix {15.25 ounces}
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup butter {softened}
  • ½ cup butter flavored shortening
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract

Almond Buttercream

  • ½ cup butter {softened}
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1-3 Tablespoons milk {to thin}
  • 1 drop pink food coloring

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.

Sugar Cookie

  • Combine the white cake mix, cornstarch and all purpose flour in a large bowl. Whisk the ingredients together to combine.
  • Add the softened butter, shortening, eggs, vanilla extract and almond extract to the dry mixture and cream together using a hand held {or stand} mixer. The dough will be a nice thick consistency.
  • Use a ¼ cup to measure out cookie dough onto a silicone mat {or parchment} lined baking sheet. Form the cookie dough mounds into round discs, baking 6 cookies at a time.
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes or until the cookies are baked through but not over baked. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. Continue baking the 2nd batch.

Almond Extract

  • Once the cookies are completely cool, start making the frosting. Combine the butter, powdered sugar and almond extract in a medium bowl and mix together on a low speed using a hand held {or stand} mixer. Add 1-3 tablespoons of milk in order to get a nice spreadable consistency. Add a small amount of pink food coloring and mix until it is evenly distributed.

Assembly

  • Frost the top of each cookie and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Serve and enjoy. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Notes

* These cookies are also wonderful at room temperature, so you can also skip the chilled portion and serve them immediately.
* The cookies will keep in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or at room temperature for 3 days. They also freeze well for up to 3 months.
