These delightful Polka Dotter Christmas Cookies feature a perfect blend of roasted cherries, sweet vanilla, and warm cinnamon, making them the ideal treat for the holiday season. The rich buttery taste combined with the festive flavors will have everyone craving for more.
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 cup brown sugar, packed. 2 large eggs. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 3 cups all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1 cup dried cherries. 1 teaspoon cinnamon. 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves.
Instructions: Start by heating the oven to 350F 175C. Melt the butter and mix it with the white sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Adding the eggs one at a time and mixing them in is the next step. Mix the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt together in a different bowl. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix them together until they are well mixed. The dried cherries and cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves should be carefully mixed into the cookie dough. Put parchment paper on the bottom of a baking sheet. Take a tablespoon of dough and shape it into a ball. Leave some space between each cookie when you put the dough balls on the baking sheet that has been prepared. To make a criss-cross pattern, gently press down on each dough ball with the back of a fork. After the oven is hot, bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Then, move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down. After the cookies have cooled, put them in a container that won't let air in. With your family and friends, enjoy these tasty Roasted Cherry, Vanilla, and Cinnamon Christmas Cookies!
