These simple cookies have a delicate buttery flavor complemented by the cherry surprise in the center, notes Joy Schuster of Glentana, Montana. They've become a holiday favorite for my family. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 jar (6 ounces) maraschino cherries without stems, drained and halved |
additional confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy; gradually add flour and mix well.
2. Shape a tablespoonful of dough around each cherry, forming a ball. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
3. Bake at 325° for 18-20 minutes or until the bottoms are browned. Roll warm cookies in confectioners' sugar. Cool on wire racks. Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen.
