Description

These Cherry Blossom Cookies are soft, buttery, and delicately flavored with a hint of almond and sweet cherry. Topped with a maraschino cherry “blossom,” they’re as pretty as they are delicious, making them perfect for holidays, tea parties, or special occasions.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 24 maraschino cherries, drained and patted dry
  • Optional: 1/4 cup (40g) finely chopped maraschino cherries for mixing into the dough

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
    • Add the egg and almond extract, mixing until well combined.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
    • If desired, fold in the finely chopped maraschino cherries for extra cherry flavor and texture.
  3. Shape the Cookies:
    • Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
    • Press a maraschino cherry gently into the center of each dough ball, flattening the cookie slightly.
  4. Bake the Cookies:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges are just set and the bottoms are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve the cookies as is, or drizzle with a simple glaze for added sweetness and shine.

Notes

  • For a flavor twist, substitute vanilla extract for almond extract or add a pinch of cinnamon.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • These cookies freeze well; simply thaw at room temperature before serving.
