Cherry Vanilla Drops

3 Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
3.25 cups flour
4 dozen maraschino cherries (seeded and stemless)

Preheat oven 350 degrees

Beat butter and sugar until creamy.
Mix in egg and vanilla until well blended.
Gradually add in the flour.


Once blended roll into 1 inch balls placing them about 2 inches apart on parchment lined baking pan. (Bonus: You can have them ready to go on the parchment paper so all you have to do is slide the sheets onto the baking pan when it is time for the next batch.)
Roll in sanding sugar for a festive touch.
Press a cherry into center of each cookie.


Bake about 18 minutes.
Cool for about 2 minutes then transfer to wire cooling rack.
