Steps:
- As noted above, drain the maraschino cherries, reserving the juice (!), finely mince the cherries, and then pat/squeeze VERY dry. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, oil, and sugars until combined.
- Beat in eggs, almond extract, cherry extract, and minced cherries.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
- Gradually add flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until just combined after each addition. Do not overmix.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto baking sheets.
- Bake at 375 for 8-11 minutes, or until edges and bottoms are lightly browned.
- Remove to wire racks to cool.
- Whisk together butter, maraschino cherry juice, and extracts.
- Stir in 4 cups powdered sugar, mixing until smooth.
- Add additional maraschino cherry juice or powdered sugar, as needed, to achieve a thick, but spreadable consistency. It should be thicker than a glaze, and it shouldn't run off the cookie, but should be easily spreadable.
- Frost cookies, sprinkle with slivered almonds, decorate with additional sprinkles, if desired, and allow to set.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor. If using frozen cherries, thaw them completely before using.
- Pit the cherries before using. You can use a cherry pitter or a sharp knife.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.
