Categories     Dessert: Brownies and Bars

Time 1h3m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup sugar
1 cup butter or margarine
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 1/4 cups flour
1/8 tsp salt
3/4 cup chopped maraschino cherries
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tsp maraschino cherry juice (approximately)

Steps:

  • Cream sugar and butter in a mixing bowl till smooth and creamy.
  • Beat in egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Stir in flour and salt, then cherries.
  • Chill for at least 30 minutes or until no longer sticky. Pat dough into a lightly greased 15" x 10" jelly roll pan. I periodically dip my hands in water so the dough doesn't stick to them.
  • Bake at 350 for 15-18 minutes. Cool completely and drizzle with glaze.
  • To make glaze, combine powdered sugar and enough cherry juice till you get the right consistency.
