Number Of Ingredients 8

2 can(s) plus 2 tablespoons cake flour
3/4 cup(s) plus 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, divided
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1 cup(s) cold butter, cubed
2 teaspoon(s) vanilla
1/2 teaspoon(s) almond extract
1/2 cup(s) dried cherries, chopped
1/4 cup(s) finely chopped almonds, toasted

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°. Place cake flour, 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar and salt in a food processor; pulse until blended. Add butter and extracts; pulse until butter is the size of peas. Add cherries and almonds; pulse until combined (dough will be crumbly).
Shape dough into 1-in. balls, pressing firmly to adhere; place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool on pans 10 minutes. Roll warm cookies in remaining confectioners' sugar. Cool on wire racks.
