Recipe Introduction
These Butter Cookies are so good and looked so pretty on the Christmas baking tray. I took some icing and zigzagged it across the cherry. The almond flavoring made them very good!!
List of Ingredients
1 cup butter softened (must be butter)
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tsp almond extract
2 1/2 cups flour
halved maraschino cherriesRecipe
Preheat oven to 350�F.
Cream butter in large bowl. Gradually beat in sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and almond extract. Gradually blend in flour. Chill dough for 1/2 hour for ease in handling. Then roll small spoonfuls of dough into little balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Place 1/2 cherry, cut side down, in middle of each cookie.
Bake 8-10 minutes or just until bottoms are golden. remove and place on racks to cool. These are yummy!
