Recipe Introduction
Posted by: kathyf1 ************Believe it or not this recipe is from the old horror movie actor vincent price! Apparently he was quite the gourmet who cooked frequently and he demonstrated this recipe on the old Dinah Shore afternoon talk show. I copied it down when I was a little girl and have been happily making them ever since. These have become a family favorite and a much requested recipe- I make these every christmas.
List of Ingredients
Preheat oven to 350
1 cup butter, softened (it must be butter - no substitutes)
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tsp almond extract
2 1/2 cups flour
halved maraschino cherries
Recipe
Cream butter in large bowl. Gradually beat in sugar until fluffy. beat in egg and almond extract. gradually blend in flour. Chill dough for 30 mins for ease in handling. Roll small spoonfuls of dough into little balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets ( I use parchment paper on the cookie sheets) Place half cherry, cut side down, in middle of each cookie and press down slightly. Bake 8-9 mins or just until bottoms are golden. Remove and place on racks to cool.
