Cherry Almond Dark Chocolate Refrigerator Cookies Directions

  1. Toast almonds in a heavy, ungreased skillet.  Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until nuts are a light golden brown. Cool nuts for 10 minutes, then process in a food processor until finely chopped.  Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream butter and sugars together.  Add egg and extract.  Beat on medium speed until well mixed. Mix in flour and baking soda to form dough (use a spoon or your hands if needed).  Stir in chopped cherries and almonds.
  3. Form dough into 2 (8-inch) logs.  Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours.
  4. Heat oven to 375*F.  Slice dough logs into ⅛ inch slices and place onto baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake 7-9 minutes, just until edges start to brown.  Cool cookies.
  6. Melt dark chocolate in a small bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds.  Stir.  Microwave for 30 seconds more.  Stir.  Continue in this manner until chocolate is smooth.  
  7. Dip each cookie in the chocolate.  Allow chocolate to harden.

    We used to make refrigerator cookies all the time, I’ve totally forgotten about them. I’d love to make these and they look so pretty, too.

    I love easy cookie recipes and this is one I can easily make since I don’t have a lot of counter space to roll out dough. I can whip a batch of these up in no time and perfect on the spot baking. I’m going to be pinning this one! Thank you!

    Sometimes I cheat and buy refrigerated cookie dough then expand on the ingredients to make it more my own. For instance sugar cookies cut from the roll can be sprinkled with powdered ginger. Ginger snaps.
