Ingredients:
1 cup butter ( please don’t substitute!)
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice
2 teaspoons milk
2 -3 cups powdered sugar, to make a thick frosting
Directions:
Mix butter, flour and powdered sugar.
Roll into balls the size of ping-pong balls.
Place on cookie sheet and flatted to about 1/2 inch.
Bake at 425* for just a few minutes until the edges just begin to show color (really watch them closely!) When cool, frost with the icing mixture on the FLAT side- to create a sandwich cookie.
(You can just frost the cookie tops to double the cookie total. Also, you may substitute almond extract and a touch of red coloring for the cherry juice).
