Servings 24 Cookies

Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • Cookie Sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 lb. Butter - room temperature
  • 1 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg Yolk
  • 1 tsp. Pure Vanilla
  • 2 1/2 C All-Purpose Unbleached Flour
  • 1 Container Candied Cherries - Red and Green

Instructions
 

  • In a stand mixer with the dough attachment, cream the butter and the sugar until well blended and fluffy. Next, add the egg yolk and vanilla and incorporate them into the butter mixture. Finally, add the flour and blend until just mixed through.
  • The dough should be moist and easily rolled into small balls. If it is too dry, add a little water to it until the dough is not as dry.
  • Roll the dough into medium size balls. Place the balls on a lined cookie sheet with parchment paper. Flatten one way and then the other way to make a criss-cross pattern with a fork. Make sure to have a small amount of flour if the fork begins to stick to the dough.
  • Add a half of a cherry, cut side down to each cookie. A link from Amazon for the cherries is listed in the blog post, but your local grocery stores should have them. They sell out quickly, so start your shopping soon.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 12 - to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Be careful not to burn the cookies.
  • Makes about two to three dozen, depending on the size of the dough ball.
