Directions:
Note: The dough must chill before baking; preheat oven to 350 degrees when ready to bake.
Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together; set aside.
Beat together butter, sugar, vanilla, and almond extracts until creamy.
Beat in egg.
Mix in cherries and pecans. Add flour mixture, mixing until well-incorporated. Pat dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap or wax paper, and chill for at least 1 hour, although overnight is best. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray. Using a small cookie scoop, portion dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies 2" apart. Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until lightly brown around the edges.
Allow cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.
