Ingredients
- COOKIE
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 c powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 c maraschino cherries, chopped
- 2 1/4 c all purpose flour
- GLAZE
- 1 c powdered sugar
- 1/4 c maraschino cherry juice (adjust for thicker or thinner consistency)
- 1 tsp vanilla
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place all cookie dough ingredients into a bowl, and knead by hand to combine. You can use a mixer, but I've found with this recipe, it's easier to just get in there with your hands.
Shape the dough into roughly tablespoon sized balls or use a cookie scoop. Place the cookies onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 15-17 minutes until just light golden on the bottom. Let cool.
To make the glaze, mix all ingredients together.
Once the cookies are cool, dip the tops in the glaze and place on waxed paper lined sheets to set. Dip twice if you like. I usually do! Enjoy!
