Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup slivered almonds
1 cup maraschino cherries, well-drained, patted dry, and finely chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat sugar, butter, almond extract, vanilla extract, and eggs until combined.
Add flour, baking powder, and baking soda and mix well. Stir in almonds and cherries.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead 2-3 minutes or until dough holds together. Divide dough in half. Shape each half of dough into a rectangle about 10 inches x 3 inches, rounding the corners, and place each rectangle on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for about 25 minutes or until the center of the dough is firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and cool on a cookie sheet for 15 minutes.
Remove to a cutting board. Cut each rectangle into 1/2-inch slices using a serrated knife. Place slices, cut side down on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake 15 minutes longer or until crisp and lightly browned. Immediately remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
