Ingredients
- 1/2 cup maraschino cherries, chopped
- 1 pouch sugar cookie mix (about 17.5 oz)
- 1 tsp almond extract (optional)
- 2 cups almonds finely chopped
Instructions
- Begin by gently patting dry the chopped cherries with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Next, follow the package instructions to blend the cookie mix, incorporating the cherries and almond extract for added flavor. Allow the dough to firm up in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes.
- Begin by preheating the oven to 375°F. Next, unwrap the chocolates and proceed to shape the dough into approximately 48 1-inch balls. Finally, coat these dough balls with chopped almonds and arrange them on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake 9-11 minutes until lightly browned, then press a chocolate into each cookie's center. Cool thoroughly on a wire rack.
