Description

These Cherry Almond Cookies are a delightful treat, especially around the holidays! I've been making these for years, and they always disappear quickly. The combination of sweet cherries and nutty almonds is just perfect. The cookies are soft and tender, with a delicate almond flavor that's enhanced by the cherry juice concentrate and amaretto liqueur. They're also incredibly easy to make, especially with the Thermomix®. These cookies are perfect for sharing with friends and family, or for enjoying with a cup of tea on a cozy winter evening. They are a great addition to any Christmas cookie platter!
