    Classic Cherry Butter Cookies

    Recipe Introduction


    Poster's Notes: This is a cherished recipe that I have made since I was a young teen and they are wonderful! These are the cookies you may see in cookie trays this time of year - a butter cookie with the halved maraschino cherry poking out of the middle. The interesting part is the source of this recipe: I got it from watching Vincent Price make them on the old Dinah Shore show! He was quite a gourmet I guess and I remember he used to come on there and cook. We have made these ever since and they are delicious.

    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 cherries

    Recipe



    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!
