Delicious Cherry Punch Bowl Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Cherry Punch Bowl Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). While the oven warms up, take a moment to grease a baking sheet to ensure your cookies slide off easily after baking.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and white sugar. Beat them together until the mixture is creamy and smooth, creating a delightful base for your cookies.

3. Step 3

   Once your butter and sugar are well blended, scoop the mixture by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each scoop, as they will spread a little while baking.

4. Step 4

   Now comes the fun part! Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create a small indentation in the center of each cookie. This is where the cherry will sit, adding a burst of flavor.

5. Step 5

   Take your halved candied cherries and gently press one half into the center of each cookie. This will not only add sweetness but also a beautiful pop of color to your treats!

6. Step 6

   Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake for about 12 minutes, or until the cookies are light brown. Keep an eye on them, as ovens can vary!

7. Step 7

   Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delightful cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
