Candied Cherry Cookies are yet another cookie you can make from my basic Vanilla Cookie Dough Recipe. The red and green candied cherries that adorn these tasty vanilla cookies make for a festive display, and they are scrumptious too! These simple cookies are easy enough to make with the kids and everyone will enjoy eating them!
To make these fun and festive cookies you need 1/5th of my Vanilla Cookie Dough, some candied cherries, and a little powdered sugar. You simply divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Place balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet and press a candied cherry into each dough ball. Simple enough for the kids!

    1. These cookies generally don't spread very much, so it's surprising they would turn out flat. Do you leave them rolled in a ball and gently push the candied cherry into the round cookie dough ball? They should not be rolled out.

      Another issue when baking cookies could be your oven temperature. I had an oven that didn't have the best insulation, and the temperature would vary wildly. I wasn't able to make any cookies in that oven as they would all turn out flat - almost bottomless as a result of the inconsistent oven temperature.

      This recipe also uses confectioners (powdered) sugar. If you used granulated sugar by accident it would negatively affect how the cookies turn out.

      Those are just some thoughts of what could have happened. So sorry they didn't turn out for you. If you have any other thoughts or questions, please let me know. Happy to help try to figure out what could have happened. Thanks!
