List of Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, divided (do not use vegetable oil spread)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 package (9 ounces) golden yellow cake mix
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
20 maraschino cherries, drained and patted dry
4 squares (1 ounce each) semi-sweet chocolate for baking
1/2 cup finely chopped almonds
1. Preheat oven to 350F. In small bowl, microwave 1 stick of the butter on HIGH 45 seconds or until melted. Slice remaining butter into 1/2-inch pieces; add to melted butter, tossing to coat. Let butter stand 2-3 minutes or until softened. Combine flour and cake mix; mix well.
2. Using a whisk, whisk butter until smooth and free of lumps; add almond extract. Pour butter, all at once, into dry ingredients. Using a bamboo spoon, mix until dry ingredients are incorporated and dough is smooth. (If dough is too stiff to stir, knead until smooth by hand.)
3. Fill a cookie press, fitted with #5 disk, with dough. Press dough onto flat baking stone, 1 inch apart. Slice cherries in half; press one half onto center of each cookie.
4. Bake 15-17 minutes or until very light golden brown. Cool 3 minutes on baking stone; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
5. Microwave chocolate in small micro-bowl, uncovered, on HIGH 1 minute or until melted and smooth; drizzle over cookies. Sprinkle almonds over cookies.
Yield: approximately 4 dozen cookies
