Yield: 48 servings

2 1/2 c A-P flour
3/4 c Sugar, divided
1 c Cold butter; diced
1/2 c Fine chopped maraschino
- cherries; patted dry
12 oz White baking chocolate; fine
- chopped, divided
1/2 ts Almond extract
2 ts Shortening
Coarse clear and red sugars

In a large bowl, combine flour and 1/2 cup sugar; cut in
butter until crumbly. Knead in cherries, 2/3 cup white
chocolate and the extract until dough forms a ball.

Shape into 3/4" balls. Place 2" apart on ungreased
baking sheets. Flatten slightly with a glass dipped in

Dip half of each cookie into chocolate; allow excess to
drip off. Place on waxed paper; sprinkle with coarse
sugar. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight
container.
