Preparation

Step 1

Cream butter together with sugars. Mix in egg and extract.
In a separate bowl sift together dry ingredients. Mix in cake crumbs.
Add dry ingredients to butter and sugar mixing to combine. (Dough may appear a bit crumbly but will tighten up as it stands).
Add chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit if desired.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes, then scoop out onto a silicone lined baking sheet.
Bake in a 350°F preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.

Cooks Notes
Dough will appear a bit crumbly at first but after it rests the consistency changes to more of a cookie dough you would expect.
