I have had this recipe for years- I learned it during a Foreign Foods class at Ricks College (yes, way back when it was Ricks and not BYU-Idaho). I wasn't sure what to do with all the leftover maraschino cherries from my daughter's birthday party until I recalled this fun recipe.
scandinavian cherry balls (Foreign Foods Class at Ricks College)
1/2 cup soft butter
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
pinch salt
13-15 maraschino cherries
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix butter and 1/4 cup sugar until creamy. Add flour, salt and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Fold dough around 1 cherry at a time making small balls (it helps if you take about a tablespoon of dough, make a ball and then flatten with your fingers before folding it around the cherry). Bake 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool. Roll cookies in remaining sugar.
