Today is day 15 of 15 Days of Holiday Sweets! and this Cherry Cordial Cookies Recipe is a fun, and pretty easy cookie to make!
I wanted to show some step by step photos to clarify just how easy it is to mold and decorate these Cherry Cordial Cookies, because the description makes it sound a bit more complicated than it really is.
• Make sure you drain your maraschino cherries well, but do NOT toss the juice.
• Take a teaspoon of dough. Place it in your hand. Now make a dent in it with your thumb.
• Place the maraschino cherry into the indentation.
• Now close the rest of that dough around the cherry, cover completely.
• Roll the dough between your hands to form a ball.
• Place them on the tray, and bake according to my directions above.
• Have everything set up to frost: melted chocolate frosting, decorator sugar, chopped almonds, and the cooled cookies.
• Dip the cooled cookie into the frosting to coat. The frosting is smooth and liquidy, and will cover well.
• Immediately dip the frosted cookies into the chopped almonds, the decorator sugar, both, or none!
• Place the frosted cookies on a wire rack to dry.
• This is a pretty clean process!
• In the end, you have cookies that look like a lot of work, that really weren’t!
