These bring back warm childhood memories to me and, with their
lovely, crumbly texture, are popular with all children.

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4. Grease several baking
trays.

2. Melt the butter. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, then the
flour, and mix to form a firm dough.

3. Shape the mixture into 15 balls and top each with an almond and a
cherry. Arrange on the baking trays, leaving plenty of room between
each, as they will spread.

4. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden. Transfer to a wire rack and
leave to cool.
