This recipe combines the perfect blend of cherries, almonds, and sugar cookies, making it a delicious dessert worth savoring. In this article, we will discuss valuable tips to ensure that this recipe turns out perfect every time.

Ingredients

Before you start baking, it is essential to gather all the necessary ingredients to avoid any last-minute hassle. For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup maraschino cherries, chopped
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp milk

Instructions

Once you have gathered all the ingredients, it's time to start baking. Follow these valuable tips to ensure that your almond glazed cherry chip sugar cookies turn out perfect every time.
1. Softened Butter is Key
Softened butter is a crucial ingredient when it comes to baking sugar cookies. It helps create that soft and chewy texture that we all love. When you are baking this recipe, ensure that you use softened butter, as hard butter can ruin the texture of the cookies. To soften the butter, place it in a bowl and leave it at room temperature for about 30-45 minutes. You can also use the microwave to soften it, but it needs to be done cautiously.
2. Don't Over-mix the Cookie Dough
Over-mixing the cookie dough can result in tough and dry cookies. When preparing the cookie dough, ensure that you mix it until all the ingredients are combined. Over-mixing the dough can lead to gluten formation, which can make the cookies dense.
3. Chop the Maraschino Cherries into Small Pieces
When adding the cherries to the dough, it is essential to chop them into small pieces. This not only makes them easier to mix into the dough but also ensures that they are evenly distributed throughout the cookies.
4. Use Fresh Baking Powder
Baking powder is an essential ingredient when it comes to making cookies. It helps the cookies rise and become fluffy. However, if the baking powder is old or expired, it won't be effective in the recipe. Always ensure that you use fresh baking powder to ensure that the cookies turn out fluffy and light.
5. Bake the Cookies at the Right Temperature
Baking cookies requires skill and precision. The temperature of your oven plays a vital role in baking perfect cookies. When baking these almond glazed cherry chip sugar cookies, set your oven temperature to 350°F. This temperature will yield perfectly baked cookies with a crispy exterior and a soft and chewy interior.
6. Don't Over-bake the Cookies
Over-baking the cookies can make them dry and hard. To ensure that your cookies turn out perfectly, bake them for 10-12 minutes. Remove them from the oven immediately after baking and place them on a cooling rack to cool completely.
7. Drizzle the Almond Glaze with Care
The almond glaze is what sets these cookies apart from the rest. It provides a sweet and nutty flavor that complements the cherries and white chocolate chips perfectly. When making the glaze, ensure that it's not too runny, as it can make the cookies soggy. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies with care to ensure that each cookie is coated evenly.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the almond glazed cherry chip sugar cookies recipe is an excellent way to indulge in some sweet treats. Follow these valuable tips to ensure that your cookies turn out perfect every time. From using softened butter to chopping the cherries into small pieces and using fresh baking powder, these tips will help you make the best cookies ever. Happy baking!
