Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp almond extract
  • 1 cup maraschino cherries, chopped
  • ½ cup slivered almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Add Egg and Almond Extract: Mix in the egg and almond extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Combine: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped cherries and slivered almonds.
  6. Scoop Cookie Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
