Cherry Almond Snow Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cherry Almond Snow Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and white sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is creamy and well combined.

3. Step 3

   Add the finely chopped maraschino cherries, amaretto liqueur, tart cherry juice concentrate, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.

4. Step 4

   Gradually add the ground almonds and blend until smooth.

5. Step 5

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Slowly add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, blending until just combined.

6. Step 6

   Roll the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie as they will expand while baking.

7. Step 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes.

8. Step 8

   While the cookies are cooling, place the remaining 1 cup of powdered sugar in a bowl. Once cooled, coat each cookie in the powdered sugar until completely covered. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
