    Source of Recipe


    Aunt Saunny

    1 cup butter, unsalted, room temperature
    1/2 cup sugar
    2 eggs, separated
    1/4 teaspoon almond extract
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons milk
    1 cup sliced almonds
    12 to 15 candied red and green cherries, halved

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Cream the butter then beat sugar in gradually. Add the egg yolks
    and extracts and beat until fluffy. Stir in about half the flour;
    add the milk then beat well. Stir in the remaining flour and knead
    just until blended in. Shape into small balls, roll in lightly
    beaten egg whites, then in the almonds. Place on greased baking
    sheets and press a half cherry into the center of each ball. Bake
    for about 20 minutes, until lightly browned on bottoms. Cool on
    rack.
