Cherry Butter Cookies

Those fall-apart crumbly butter cookies you get sometimes at Christmas plus sweet candied cherries equals a sweet little treat that's super easy, pretty, and tasty!

Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups cake flour (you can use regular flour, but the cookies won't be as light)
1/2 cup chopped up candied cherries

Directions:
Cream together your butter and sugar, then mix in the vanilla.  Add the flour and mix thoroughly until everything starts to stick together in a paste.  Stir in the chopped cherries.  Chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator

Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350 and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Roll out pieces of the cookie dough into 1 inch balls and place on lined sheets.  There doesn't need to be much room between the cookies because they won't spread much.  Bake 15-18 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden or you can gently press the top of one and it doesn't give.

Let cool and enjoy!
