  2. Mix together the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil in a stand mixer on medium speed until just combined.
  3. Scoop the dough using a 1" cookie scoop, roll each scoop in sanding sugar, and place on the baking sheet about 3 inches apart.
  4. Bake the cookies for 7-9 minutes, or until they just set but remain soft.
  5. Let them cool on wire racks completely before frosting.
  6. Prepare the almond buttercream by whipping the butter until fluffy, then gradually add the salt, vanilla extract, almond extract, and heavy cream.
  7. Blend in the powdered sugar gradually until fully incorporated and whip until light and fluffy.
  8. Sandwich the almond buttercream between two cookies by piping a swirl onto the bottom of one cookie.
