Cherry Cordial Creme Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 350° F.
• 2. Cream together butter and sugar.
• 3. Blend in egg and vanilla.
• 4. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• 5. Add to butter mixture along with dried cherries, just until blended.
• 6. Scoop rounded teaspoonsful of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• 7. Bake at 350° F. for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
• 8. While cookies are baking, melt cherry preserves. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat cherry preserves on high for one minute in the microwave.
• 9. Using an immersion blender blend the preserves to break up the cherries. Or use a small chopper or fork to mash them.
• 10. Stir semi-sweet chocolate chips into the hot cherry preserves. Continue to stir until chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth.
• 11. Remove cookies from the oven. Using the back of a spoon, immediately form a shallow well on the top of each cookie. Transfer cookies to a rack to cool.
• 12. Spoon chocolate cherry mixture into the wells on top of each cookie.
• 13. Melt white chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a stainless steel bowl set over boiling water.
• 14. Drizzle white chocolate over filled cookies. Allow to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a mixing bowl beat butter for 30 seconds on med-high speed. Add powdered sugar and salt beating until combined (scrape sides of bowl). Beat in the cherry liquid and almond extract. Beat in as much flour as you can then use a spoon to mix any remaining flour and the chopped cherries.
• Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Using the bottom of a glass dipped in granulated sugar, flatten the balls until they are about 1/2 inch thick. Bake 14 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. Right away place a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350.
• Line 9-inch round cake pan with foil, extending foil beyond the sides. Grease foil.
• Stir together melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Add eggs. Beat well using spoon. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to egg mixture, beating with a spoon until well blended. Spread batter in prepared pan.
• Bake 25 minutes or until cake is set. (Cake is fudgy and will not test done.) Remove from oven. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
• Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar in medium bowl until well blended. Beat whipping cream until stiff. Gradually fold into cream cheese mixture, blending well. Spread over brownie layer. Cover. Refrigerate until serving time. Use foil to lift out of pan; remove foil.
• Just before serving, put cherry pie filling in 5-inch wide heart shape in center of dessert. (I went to Wal-Mart and found a set of heart-shaped cookie cutters to do this step.) Place kisses around edge. Cut into wedges; serve with remaining pie filling. Cover; refrigerate leftover dessert.
