White Chocolate Cherry Shortbread Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup maraschino cherries, drained and chopped
- 2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 cup of cold butter
- 1 cup of chopped white chocolate or white chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract
- 2 drops of red food coloring
- sprinkles
- White chocolate chips or vanilla almond bark for dipping
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, combine flour and sugar. Cut in the cold butter with a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or use a pastry blender until the mixture resembles small crumbs. Stir in chopped cherries and white chocolate. Stir in almond extract and red food coloring.
Shape dough into 3/4 inch balls, place them 2 inches apart, and flatten into 1 1/2 inch rounds. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, until centers are set. Melt white candy melts and dip half of each cookie. Decorate with sprinkles and enjoy.
