Sooo buttery and delicious! I subbed drained chopped maraschino cherries for the candied cherries since there were none to be had at the grocery store and vanilla for the almond extract due to personal taste. Everything else stayed the same. These are easy to make and I KNOW I will be making them often. Mine spread a little bit over the top but I think that was due to the fact that I overfilled the muffin cups ~ next time I will be sure not to. Thanks so much for posting a great little gem!

Very tasty, rich and buttery little morsels. Almost more like a soft butter cookie than a muffin. I like them better after they had cooled for an hour or so. Yummy. I made these in small mini muffin pans and got just over four dozen extra small muffins. Very nice addition to my cookie tray. Thanks, LEEEZAH.
