Cherry Shortbread Cookies
Main Ingredients: Maraschino Cherries, Flour, Sugar, Butter, Vanilla
For a twist on classic shortbread cookies, try making cherry shortbread cookies. These cookies are flavored with cherry juice and almond extract, and have a pretty pink color from the addition of maraschino cherries. They're simple, buttery, and perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of butter
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup of chocolate chips
- Red and green M&M's
Instructions:
To start, cream together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Take small portions of the dough and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place them on a lined baking sheet and use your thumb to make an indent in the center of each ball. This will be the body of the mouse.
Next, cut the sliced almonds in half and place two halves on either side of the indent to create the ears. Press lightly to secure them in place. Place a chocolate chip in the center of the indent for the nose. Add two red or green M&M's above the nose for the eyes. Repeat this process with the remaining dough.
Bake the cookies at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
These adorable Christmas mice cookies are not only cute, but they also taste delicious! The buttery, vanilla cookie pairs perfectly with the crunchy almonds and sweet chocolate and M&M's.
