Key Ingredients
Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350° F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Combine granulated sugar, butter and shortening in a large mixer bowl. Mix for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Add egg yolk and almond extract; continue to mix at low speed. Add flour, ¼ cup at a time, until mixture is well combined and consistency is chunky.
Step 4
Scoop out 1 tablespoon dough, roll into a ball and place on prepared baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough. Press into each ball with your thumb, making an indentation. Dough will crack slightly. Place a cherry in each cookie indentation.
Step 5
Bake for 20 minutes or until bottoms of cookies are golden. Tops will hardly brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Step 6
Whisk together powdered sugar and evaporated milk in a medium bowl until completely smooth and at drizzle consistency. Drizzle over cookies; let set for 30 minutes before serving.
Instead of cherries, decorate with colorful nonpareils, guava paste or fruit preserves.
