Directions
| Cookies | |
| Step 1 | |
| In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla and almond extracts and salt and mix well. Add flour, mixing slowly until combined. Stir in cherries and chocolate chips. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Divide dough in half and place each half on a sheet of plastic wrap. Roll the dough into 2 logs, about 1 1/2" thick and 8"long. Wrap tightly and chill about 2 hours. | |
| Step 3 | |
| Preheat oven to 325. Slice the logs of dough into about 1/4"-1/3" thick cookies, and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely before glazing. | |

| Step 4 | |
| Stir together sugar, almond extract, and 1 tsp water until smooth. You want a glue like consistency. Add more water if too thick. Dip the tops of each cookie into the glaze, and allow to harden before storing in a sealed container. | |
