Cherry Cake Mix Cookies

1 package White Cake Mix or Cherry Chip
1/3 cup oil
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 eggs
1 cup candied cherries or marachino cherries
1/2-1 c chopped nuts

Heat oven to 375 F. In large bowl, combine cake mix, oil, extract and eggs; stir with spoon just until thoroughly moistened. Stir in cherries. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 F. for 6-8 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Note: For a new flavor try substituting 1 tsp. rum extract for the almond extract.
