~ CHERRY DREAM MELTAWAYS ~
I tweaked a recipe a friend gave me years ago and added cherries, almond flavoring and an almond glaze and they turned out so much better than the original! My family went crazy over them.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325 degree F. Lightly grease a sheet pan. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the extracts. Mix the salt and flour and add to the butter mixture a little at a time until all is beaten in.
- 2. In a bowl, spoon out preserves and I chop the cherries up with a spoon, just so they aren't left whole.
- 3. Roll in the palm of your hand about 1 inch round balls and place on prepared pan about 1 inch apart. Use your thumb and indent the dough, not clear through, just enough that you can fill each cookie with 1/2 - 3/4 tsp of preserves.
- 4. Bake just until they begin to brown on the bottom, yet are nice and white on the sides and top - about 15 minutes.
- 5. Remove cookies to cooling rack and make the glaze while they cool.
- 6. Whisk together the sugar, almond extract and milk. Take a small baggie and roll down the top, spoon in the glaze and cut a small hole on the one corner. Pipe glaze over each cookie in a swirled motion.
- 7. Dig in, they are delicious!
- 8. Original recipe for which I tweaked. I loved my changes. :)

CHERRY MARSHMALLOWS
My first taste of a homemade marshmallow was in France. With all of the fancy desserts available that day, I only went back for more marshmallows. There's just something about these pillowy puffs of sugary deliciousness that turns them into a gourmet treat. And talk about delicious! Try these next time you make smores, add one to your cup of hot cocoa, or include some in your holiday cookie tins. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:
- Generously butter the bottom and sides of an 11x7-inch glass baking dish and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar.
- Add 1/2 cup cold water to the bowl of a stand mixer and add unflavored gelatin. Set aside to soften.
- Combine remaining 1/2 cup water, sugar, corn syrup, cherry gelatin, and almond extract in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until sugar and gelatin are dissolved. Heat the mixture to boiling, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer immersed in the mixture reads 240 degrees F (115 degrees C), about 30 minutes. Watch carefully that syrup doesn't boil over; reduce heat if necessary.
- Slowly pour syrup into the softened gelatin in the stand mixer bowl. Beat on low speed, then increase to medium-high and beat until marshmallow mixture has tripled in size. Pour into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top using a rubber spatula. Set marshmallow mixture aside and let stand, uncovered, 8 hours to overnight.
- Dust a large cutting board with about 1 tablespoon powdered sugar. Loosen sides of marshmallow mixture from the baking dish, lift out onto the cutting board, and rub additional powdered sugar on top. Spray a sharp knife with cooking spray and cut marshmallows into 1-inch squares, 11 rows by 7 rows.
- Toss marshmallows in a large bowl with remaining confectioners' sugar. Shake off excess sugar and transfer marshmallows to an airtight container.

- In a stand mixer, beat the butter until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, pudding mix, and flour. Mix until combined. The mixture may seem dry at first but will come together after beating.
- Add the almond extract and green food coloring if you want the cookies with a brighter green color.
- Finely chop the maraschino cherries. Using a paper towel pat the cherries removing all of the juice and excess liquid. You want to make sure you dry all of the red juice or you may turn your cookies a not so pretty color. Gently mix in the chopped cherries being careful not to overmix because the color will start to bleed.
