Units Scale

Cookies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup chopped maraschino cherries (drained and patted dry)
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Mix in the vegetable oil, eggs, and almond extract until smooth.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
  5. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Add cherries and almonds: Fold in the chopped cherries and sliced almonds.
  7. Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden.
  8. Cool: Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a festive touch, drizzle with a simple almond glaze made of powdered sugar, almond extract, and milk.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
