Homemade Icebox Cherry Cookies

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla beat well.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder and flour and then add to the butter and egg mixture. Mix well. Stir in cherries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Place the dough on a large parchment paper and refrigerate for 5 hours or until firm.

Unwrap and cut into slices (1/4 inch thick). Cut 35 cookies.

Preheat oven to 180ºC (355ºF) and place cookies on a greased baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes until light brown. Let cool.

Serve and enjoy.
