Festive Cherryettes image

This is my dad's favorite Christmas cookie. It is on the order of a shortbred cookie. I absolutely hate nuts but you don't really taste them in this cookie. I put the nuts in my blend and ground them fine.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cherryettes came out flat and doughy. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These cherryettes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might try adding a little more butter to the crust next time.

These cherryettes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They were also very easy to make, so I'll probably make them again for my kids' parties.

I'm not a huge fan of cherries, but I really enjoyed these cherryettes. The filling was perfectly balanced and the crust was nice and flaky.

These cherryettes were a bit more work than I expected, but they were worth it. They turned out so beautiful and tasted even better than they looked.
