Soft pink cookies with chopped maraschino cherries and white chocolate chips, perfect for holidays or Valentine’s Day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries, drained
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp maraschino cherry juice (for color)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and almond extract.
  4. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
  6. Fold in the chopped cherries, white chocolate chips, and cherry juice.
  7. Chill the dough for 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
  8. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Drain cherries well to avoid excess moisture.
  • Chilling the dough helps maintain shape and color.
  • For deeper pink color, add a few drops of red food gel.
