Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, flour, poppy seeds, butter, cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of the almond extract and egg until soft dough forms.
2 Roll dough into 1 1/4-inch balls; place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Press balls slightly to flatten. If desired, top each flatten ball with 5 sliced almonds arranged to form a star.
3 Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 3 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.
4 In small bowl, mix powdered sugar, remaining 1 teaspoon almond extract and enough water to give the glaze a nice spreading consistency. Spread glaze over warm cookies. Store tightly covered in a single layer at room temperature.

We just did not like these. The cream cheese flavor stood out too much and I love cream cheese (only used 3 oz.) Followed the recipe exactly. We would have preferred plain sugar cookies with some almond extract instead.

These light and not-too-sweet cookies get more compliments than any other cookie I make! I'm on my third batch (per requests) and it's not even Christmas yet! Absolutely delish!
