1. In a large mixing bowl, mix butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, almond extract and food colors; mix well. Add Pioneer Baking Mix; mix on low speed to combine. Stir in almonds. Chill dough for at least 1 hour.
2. Roll out half of dough on a floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out leaf shapes (or other shapes as desired) using 3-inch cookie cutter.
3. Place 1 inch apart on baking sheets coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake in a 350˚F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from baking sheet to wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.
