Cream Cheese Cookies

Thrifty Jinxy is hosting a cookie exchange, so I thought I would join in on the fun! These cookies are SO delicious and super simple to make! They freeze wonderfully and you can tweak them to your favorite flavor.

Cream Cheese Cookies

1 box cake mix - any flavor (I love using Strawberry)
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 egg yolk
1/4 tsp. almond extract

Mix all ingredients together; try not to consume all the dough (it tastes like flavored cream cheese). Chill for 3o minutes (if you live in ND, like I do, just set outside). Preheat oven to 375*. Roll dough into 1" balls. Cook for 11-13 minutes; until golden brown around the edges. Cool on wire rack and try not to eat them all!!
