Ingredients
-
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
24 -30 maraschino cherries, drained & de-stemmed (or dates)
Preparation
-
Mix together - butter, sugar & vanilla.
Add flour & salt (will be fairly dry/crumbly, if too dry to wrap around a cherry add a tbsp of cream/milk).
Mold by tbsp fully around cherry.
Place on un-greased cookie sheet about 1\" apart.
Bake at 350* for 12-15 minutes until set, but not brown.
Icing: Mix together 1 Celsius powdered sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons milk (I like to use leftover cherry juice instead of milk), 1 teaspoons vanilla (add cocoa if desired).
Dip in frosting mix & set on waxed paper to harden.
