Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 5 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup powdered sugar icing
  • 30 candied cherries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Cream in the sugar for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add the almond extract and eggs, mixing until combined.
  5. Slowly add the flour mixture until just mixed. Do not overmix.
  6. Spray a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop with cooking spray and then dollop heaping mounds onto the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Reapply cooking spray as needed.
  7. Bake each batch for 11-2 minutes or until cookies are set. There will be no brown, but slightly cracked and springy when touched.
  8. Remove and immediately make a well in each hot cookie using the back of a 1/4 teaspoon. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 more minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool fully.
  9. When cooled, spoon a small amount of powdered sugar icing into each well. Top with a candied cherry while still tacky.
  10. If you've tried this recipe, come back and let us know how they were in the comments or star ratings.

Notes

  • Alternately, you can dust cookies with powdered sugar and omit the powdered sugar icing.
