  1. Start by preheating your oven to 325\u00b0F (160\u00b0C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/li>\n
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this step.<\/li>\n
  3. Add the almond extract and mix it into the butter and sugar mixture.<\/li>\n
  4. Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture and mix until the dough comes together. You may need to use your hands to form the dough into a ball. If you want to add a festive touch, you can separate the dough into two portions and knead red food coloring into one portion and green food coloring into the other.<\/li>\n
  5. Gently fold in the chopped maraschino cherries into the dough. Be careful not to overmix, as you don\u2019t want to turn the dough pink or green.<\/li>\n
  6. Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. If you\u2019ve colored the dough, you can make alternating red and green dough balls for a more festive look.<\/li>\n
  7. Use a fork to flatten each dough ball slightly, creating a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie.<\/li>\n
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just starting to turn golden brown. Make sure not to overbake; shortbread cookies are best when they\u2019re still pale in color.<\/li>\n
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/li>\n
  10. Once the cookies are completely cool, you can dust them with powdered sugar for a snowy effect<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
