  • I’m so glad I said yes to one more cookie. Ba-da-bing cherries make them special!

I’m so glad I said yes to one more cookie. Ba-da-bing cherries make them special!

Cookies and Bars / November 26, 2016

Making holiday preparations involves a lot of planning. I have learned, however, than one thing is essential to comfort and joy. Yes, I insist that all of my leggings, yoga pants, and elastic waist skirts are at my fingertips! I learned long ago that dressing up for the holidays isn’t as important as dressing COMFORTABLY. Stretchy clothes to the rescue!!! That way you never have to say those sad, sad words, “No thank you. I can’t eat another bite.”

Case in point. These little cookies are irresistible. Tart ba-da-bing cherries (Click here to see them and order from Amazon.com), that are already pitted and still sport that elegant stems crown these chewy sugar cookies, which is also a part of my #fabin40 collection. They’re elegant, take absolutely NO time to make with prepackaged ingredients and the addition of a few sure-fire flavors, and worth all the elastic you can find.

I love how the little stems just tease you. They make this dessert look so sassy and high-falutin. The hint of almond flavor and subtle depth of the cardamom do the trick. No one EVER need know you used a packaged sugar cookie mix, bottled cherries, or that your stomach is flopping freely under your apron. AAHHH. Polyester was never so brilliant.

A mini muffin tin is the secret weapon to bit sized towers of holiday sweetness. Topped with light sprinkling of powdered sugar and you’re off to another holiday party in no time.

​So, if you’ve learning anything, it is to let the others wear sequins. You know better than to show up looking like a model when your food can do it for you.

Bing Cherry Sugar Cookie Cups

This soft, chewy, beautiful cookie couldn’t be simpler. Cheating with the packaged sugar cookie mix means you can create a gorgeous dessert in less than 30 minutes!

Makes 24-28 cookies


Ingredients:

1 package Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature but not melted
1 large egg
½ t ground cinnamon
1/8 t ground cardamom
½ t almond extract
24 pitted, stem-on Bing Cherries (Ba Da Bing Cherries are shown below.)
Raw sugar for garnish


Direction:

  • In a large bowl combine the sugar cookie mix, 1 large egg, 1 stick or ½ C soft unsalted butter, cardamom, cinnamon and almond extract. Stir well to make sure everything is well combined and dough sticks to itself. Form into a small, 1 ½” ball, and place each one in a mini-muffin pan. With your thumb, make an indentation into the ball, just keep enough to accommodate half the depth of the cherry. You don’t want to smash them, just provide a nice nest for the Bing Cherry which you will place stem side up. Sprinkle with a bit of the coarse, raw sugar. Cook in a 375 degree F oven for 9-10 minutes. Cool and then gently remove. Garnish with powdered sugar if desired.
