Step 2:
Add butter and powdered sugar to a large bowl.
Beat for about 3 minutes until it becomes light and airy.
Next, add flour, cornstarch, salt, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
Whisk the mixture until well combined until it becomes very soft.
Do the same for the remaining mixture.
Step 4:
Place the balls on lined cookie sheets ensure to leave little space in between.
Cookies will not spread much when baked.
Step 5:
Gently press one cherry until 2/3 is inside the center of the cookie.
Do the same for the remaining cookies.
The cookies will not brown but will be done.
Once done baking, remove from the oven and allow to cool on baking sheets for 10 minutes.
After that, transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
