  JRACKHAM. Combine cake mix, water and almond extract      
  in bowl.  Beat until thoroughly blended. Drop by          
  teasponfuls onto greased cookie sheet.  Press an          
  almond half into top of each cookie.  Bake at 350         
  degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes.                            
    Yield:  60 cookies                                      
    Exchanges:  2 cookies:  1/3 bread, 2/5 fat              
    Calories:  2 cookies:  28                               
    PERSONAL NOTE: If you want to decrease the fat          
  content - leave the almonds off the cookies. Also -       
  the original recipe only had 36 almonds listed in the     
  ingredients - so since the recipe yields 60 cookies I     
  increased it in the ingredient list.
