Cherry-Almond Icebox Cookies Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Cherry-Almond Icebox Cookies Recipe). This is my Grandmother's recipe, at least 50 years old, a classic cherry almond icebox cookie that I turned into a bar cookie. I also dip or drizzle white chocolate on the cooled cookies to make them a little more fancy for Christmas cookie exchanges. But it's delicious either way!

Cherry-Almond Icebox Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup butter

softened

1 cup brown sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

½ cup sliced blanched almonds

½ cup chopped red candied cherries

2 ounces white chocolate

Dessert

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line bottom and sides of an 11x7-inch glass baking pan with parchment paper; leave paper hanging over pan edges so that cookies can be lifted out after baking.

Step 2

Beat butter and brown sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy about 2 minutes. Stir flour into butter mixture until crumbly; stir in almonds and cherries. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of prepared pan.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden at edges about 20 minutes. Score with a sharp knife into bars while in the pan and still warm; allow cookies to cool about 30 minutes. Lift cookies from pan and slice to separate along scored marks.

Step 4

Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals stirring after each melting for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Do not overheat or chocolate will scorch. Drizzle melted white chocolate over cookies or dip half of each cookie into melted white chocolate.
