Cooking Instructions

1 mins
  1. 1

    Cream the margarine and icing sugar together until fluffy

  2. 2

    Beat in the rest of the ingredients apart from the cherries and caster sugar

  3. 3

    Mix well then take tablespoons of the dough and flatten out a little bit in your palm

  4. 4

    Put a cherry in each circle then pinch the dough up and around the cherry so it's encased

  5. 5

    Roll into balls and put onto a baking sheet

  6. 6

    Chill in the fridge on the baking sheet for 30 minutes

  7. 7

    Meanwhile preheat the oven to gas 3 / 160C / 325°F

  8. 8

    Bake the cookies for 30 - 35 minutes

    Roll the balls in the sugar while they're warm. I recommend using icing sugar over superfine sugar

  10. 10

    Let cool on a wire rack then keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days

  11. 11

    The ground nuts can be replaced with extra flour. Add a bit more vanilla though as the nuts impart good flavour
