The fresh blueberries, sweet Maraschino cherries, decadent white chocolate, and almond are the ultimate flavor bomb!
Basic Sugar Cookie Recipe
This Red Cherries, White Chocolate, and Blueberry Cookie recipe is a basic cookie recipe adapted from this recipe on The Goldlining Girl. I added a few items like the blueberries and white chocolate chips and eliminated the cherry extract (if I had known cherry extract was going to be so hard to find I would have definitely ordered. Instead of the cherry extract, I used a thin confectioner’s sugar glaze made with the drained cherry juice and almond extract.
Half of the cookies were finished with the cherry glaze and the other half were left plain. If you don’t want to go the extra step of the glaze, they are still so yummy and delish without the glaze…I PROMISE!
