We pass the recipe along to you, but we are going to call them "Moose's Boobs," on account of Moose has made some slight adjustments in the recipe (she uses butter rather than margarine) and because, well, frankly, she's just a little creeped out by the idea of inviting you all to partake of her mother's, um, body. Hers? Oh, have at it, kids. And may the darkest night of the year find you warm and happy and surrounded by those you love. Take heart. As the light-loving father of the Moosians used to say on this night, summer's coming! Tomorrow, the days start getting longer! Peace out.
Moose's Boobs
Preheat oven to 400.
1 C. butter
3 T. sugar
1 t. almond extract
2 C. flour
1/2 t. salt
candied cherries, halved
Cream the butter and sugar together. Slowly add flour, salt, and almond extract. Mix together, but don't over-mix.
Form teaspoon-size balls. Place on cookie sheet. Press 1/2 candied cherry on top. (You can also use Hershey's Kisses, but Moose strongly prefers the candied cherries. Use a mix of red and green cherries for a festive-looking presentation on that tacky Christmas-tree platter somebody bought you when they thought there was hope of turning you into a conventional suburbanite.)
Bake for 10-15 minutes, but keep a close eye on them. They burn easily.
Yield: 30-36 cookies
Flapping my wings, I say I am above this sort of thing and must not to be sullied by it – in truth, in terms of celebrating the darkness, it is absolutely liberating to land in the mud! Meanwhile Caroline Kennedy is in the headlines today, supporting gay marriage, regardless of what people like you and I might think! Shocking!
