Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/2 cup | Butter |
| 3/4 cup | Confectioners’ sugar |
| 1 tsp | Vanilla extract |
| 1 cup | Flour |
| 3/4 cup | Maraschino cherries |
Instructions:
-
Cream the Butter: In a mixing bowl, cream the butter until smooth and creamy.
-
Add Sugar and Flavorings: Beat in the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract until the mixture is fluffy and well combined.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms. Ensure that the flour is fully incorporated but avoid overmixing.
-
Shape the Dough: Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and place them on a greased baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Flatten and Add Cherries: Gently flatten the tops of the dough balls with your hand or the back of a spoon. Then, place a half of a maraschino cherry into the center of each cookie, pressing it slightly into the dough.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
-
Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, serve and enjoy these delightful Cherry Bliss Cookies!
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. Serve them with a glass of milk or alongside your favorite hot beverage for a truly blissful treat!
