Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 2/3 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
• 3/4 cups candied cherries (chopped)
• 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 2 teaspoons water

Directions

• In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla and almond extracts and salt and mix well. Add flour, mixing slowly until combined. Stir in cherries and chocolate chips.
• Divide dough in half and place each half on a sheet of plastic wrap. Roll the dough into 2 logs, about 1 1/2 thick and 8long. Wrap tightly and chill about 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 325. Slice the logs of dough into about 1/4-1/3 thick cookies, and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely before glazing.
• Stir together sugar, almond extract, and 1 tsp water until smooth. You want a glue like consistency. Add more water if too thick. Dip the tops of each cookie into the glaze, and allow to harden before storing in a sealed container.
