Ingredients: 1 1/4 cups medium grind cornmeal; 1 cup (5 ounces) all purpose flour; 3/4 teaspoon baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature; 2/3 cup (4 2/3 ounces) sugar; 2 eggs; 1/2 teaspoon almond extract; 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 cup dried cherries

Servings: persons

1
Adjust oven rack to middle and lower positions and preheat to 350u00b0F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
2
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together butter and sugar until creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs followed by almond and vanilla extracts. Add dry ingredients and beat just until combined. Gently fold in cherries. Place in freezer for 10 minutes.
3
Dough will still be sticky so use floured hands to shape into two 3-inch wide logs. Bake until golden at the edges, about 30 minutes. Let cool until easy to handle then cut on the bias with a serrated knife. Place cookies cut side down on baking sheet and bake until dry and toasted, about 10 minutes more.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
