Directions: |
Directions:In large bowl combine flour and sugarb cut in butter until crumbly. Gently mix in cherries, ⅔ cup chocolate, extract, and reserved cherry juice (1 tsp at a time) until dough forms a ball.
Shape into ¾ in balls (I use small cookie scoop) and place on baking sheets. Flatten with small juice glass dipped in decorator sugar.
Bake at 325º for 10-12 minutes. Remove to racks and cool completely
In microwave melt shortening and remaining chocolate; stir until smooth. (This makes a lot of chocolate so if you have other cookies you want to decorate with chocolate plan accordingly). Decorate cookies and let stand until firm. |

Notes: This is another cookie I make at Christmas every year. I used to make a chocolate covered cherry cookie but these are much easier and have a similar taste.
