1 c. butter, softened
1 c. powdered sugar, divided
1/2 t. almond extract
2 c. plain flour
1/4 t. salt
1 c. candied cherries, finely chopped
1/2 c. chocolate chips, your choice or chocolate almond bark
Preheat oven to 400. Beat butter in medium speed until fluffy. Gradually beat in 1/2 c. powdered sugar. Stir in almond extract. Combine flour and salt. On low speed, beat flour mixture into butter mixture until well blended. Stir in cherries. Shape dough into 1" balls and place on cookie sheet 2" apart. Bake 9-11 minutes until edges just start to brown. Cool slightly. Roll each cookie in remaining powdered sugar and cool completely. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave safe plastic bag or melt almond bark in microwave as instructed. Drizzle melted chocolate over cooled cookies. Place cookies in refrigerator to set up faster if desired, before stacking in covered container.
