Description

Secret ingredients make these beautiful pink cookies.

Ingredients

  • 2-½ cups All-purpose Flour
  • ¾ cups Sugar, Divided
  • 1 cup Cold Butter Cubed
  • ½ cups Finely Chopped Maraschino Cherries
  • 12 ounces, weight White Chocolate, Finely Chopped (or White Chocolate Chips)
  • ½ teaspoons Almond Extract
  • 2 teaspoons Shortening
  • Coarse Sugar And Red Glitter/sprinkles

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the flour and 1/2 cup sugar; cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Knead in cherries, 2/3 cup white chocolate and the almond extract until dough forms a ball. The dough will be pretty crumbly, and requires slight man-handling.

Shape into 3/4-inch balls. Place 2-inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten slightly with a glass that has been dipped in remaining sugar. Bake at 325F for 10-12 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.

In a microwave, melt shortening and remaining white chocolate at 70% power for 1 minutes; stir. Microwave in additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

Dip half of each cookie into chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Sprinkle with coarse sugar and/or edible glitter. Place on waxed paper until set.

Share with friends/self and ENJOY!!!

I just made these. They were super easy, but I couldn’t get the white chocolate dip to work. They taste just fine without it, too… believe it or not. I can only imagine how awesome they are with it, though. Thanks for the recipe! They will soon be sent off to Marines serving somewhere in the ocean with the NAVY.
