This is my Great Gran's Cherry Cookies recipe. I make them for my dad at Christmas.
In large bowl combine:
1- 1/4 c. gran. white sugar
3/4 c. oil
2 large eggs
1 (14.5 oz.) can Red Tart Cherries. (NOT PIE FILLING!), drain and reserve liquid. (I mash mine a bit first.)
1/3 c. of reserved liquid
1/2 tsp. each vanilla and almond extract
In smaller bowl combine:
3 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt ( I use Kosher)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
Stir the two combinations together. Will be "runny" like cake batter. (I chill my batter for about 1/2 an hour, but not necessary)Then drop by tablesoonfuls onto greased or parchment lined cookie sheets.
Bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes.
My kids talked me into adding chocolate chips and it was amazing then I added slivered almonds for myslef. They were delicious! These cookies are soft like cake.
Happy Baking.
