2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract

Here is how you make Christmas Cherry Macaroons by Sissy:

Beat Crisco and sugar until really light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Add both extracts. Mix the baking soda, baking powder and salt with the flour, and then add to the creamed mixture. This is going to be a dry looking cookie mix. Then add the chopped cherries, the coconut and the sliced almonds. Mix just to incorporate it all together.Using a small scoop makes it easiest to get these all the same size. Place on greased cookie sheets, and bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should just be golden. Let set on cookie sheet for one minute out of the oven, then place on racks to cool. These also freeze really well, but they also disappear awfully fast.Serving Size: Makes 7 dozen cookies (84)Number of Servings: 84Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SISSYFEB48.
