Yummy,going to make these for Mothers Day
made these, made a second batch with green food color looks so festive….wish i made them all green, with the red cherries so pretty
I have been making your recipe for years now, probably since the year you posted it and it is a must have EVERY Christmas season! I’ve also made it for Valentines Day for the pretty red color or any other time we want cookies. Everyone that tries them, loves them, including myself and they are asked for every year lol. The only thing I do different is since we are pure almond extract lovers, I substitute about 1/2 tablespoon of it instead of the vanilla. It’s absolutely delicious with the vanilla, we just love anything made with almond extract, plus I think it enhances the maraschino cherry flavor. Thank you so much for such a wonderful recipe that has turned into a Christmas tradition 🎄🎅🏻🦌❤️
Thanks Karin, I am so glad your friends and family enjoy these cookies! Almond extract is definitely a very good substitute for the vanilla extract. Yum!
