How to Make Cherry Surprise Cookies For St Val Or St Pat
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the almond extract.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Flatten each ball slightly in your cupped hand. Gently press a well-drained cherry into the center of each flattened ball, ensuring the cherry is completely covered by the dough.
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between them.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- While cookies cool, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar. Gradually add the reserved cherry juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach a desired spreading consistency.
- Frost the cooled cookies with the cherry frosting.
- Sprinkle each frosted cookie with chopped walnuts.
