List of Ingredients
1 cup butter
1/4 tsp. salt
2 cups flour
1/2 cup icing sugar
2 egg yolks
1-2 tsp. almond extract
Maraschino Cherries (about a 6 ounce bottle)Recipe
Drain the cherries as well as possible. (I usually put them on paper towels.)
Mix all the ingredients together except the cherries.
Pinch off pieces of the dough (enough to cover a cherry) and flatten it in your hand. Put a cherry in the center and fold up or roll up the dough around it quickly (as a warm hand can soften the dough too much). Place on ungreased or no-stick bake sheet.
Bake at 325 for about 25 minutes or until barely golden.
When cool, dip in icing sugar made by mixing 1 1/2 cups icing sugar & 1/2 cup cherry juice.
Sprinkle a little crushed nuts on top to make them fancier.
