Almond Cherry Cookies

Amazing! These little cookies are so delicate and pretty, but are packed with almond and cherry flavor! The dough handles nice, so wrapping it around the cherries wasn’t difficult; I actually made them with my toddler.
These were one of the dozen or so cookies I made for Christmas, and were definitely a crowd favorite! Liked by both adults and kiddos. Thank you for one of new favorite cookie recipes!!
