How to Make Pound Cake Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 large egg until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon almond extract and mix well.
  4. Gradually add 15.25 oz (432g) of your favorite pound cake mix, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the dough in half.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each half to 1/8 inch thickness.
  7. **Option 1 (Cut-out):** Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. **Option 2 (Round):** Roll dough into 1-inch balls, place on an ungreased baking sheet, and flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass.
  8. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cool, frost with your favorite buttercream icing and decorate with sprinkles or other festive toppings.
  11. Yields: approximately 3-4 dozen cookies.
