How To Make ~ cherry dream meltaways ~

• 
  Step 1
  Preheat oven to 325 degree F. Lightly grease a sheet pan. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the extracts. Mix the salt and flour and add to the butter mixture a little at a time until all is beaten in.
• 
  Step 2
  In a bowl, spoon out preserves and I chop the cherries up with a spoon, just so they aren't left whole.
• 
  Step 3
  Roll in the palm of your hand about 1 inch round balls and place on prepared pan about 1 inch apart. Use your thumb and indent the dough, not clear through, just enough that you can fill each cookie with 1/2 - 3/4 tsp of preserves.
• 
  Step 4
  Bake just until they begin to brown on the bottom, yet are nice and white on the sides and top - about 15 minutes.
• 
  Step 5
  Remove cookies to cooling rack and make the glaze while they cool.
• 
  Step 6
  Whisk together the sugar, almond extract and milk. Take a small baggie and roll down the top, spoon in the glaze and cut a small hole on the one corner. Pipe glaze over each cookie in a swirled motion.
