Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter ( or margarine; softened)
- 2 cup flour (all purpose )
- 1/2 cup almond (ground blanched s)
- 1 egg ( yolk)
- 3 teaspoon lemon (grated peel)
- 1 cup sugar
- 20 cherries (candied ; cut in half)

In large bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and the 1 cup of sugar until creamy; beat in egg yolk and lemon peel. Gradually add flour, blending thoroughly; stir in almonds. Bather dough into a ball with hands. On a lightly floured board, roll out dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut out with a 2 to 3inch heart shaped cookie; transfer cookies to greased baking sheets, spacing about 1 inch apart. Sprinkle cookies lightly with sugar. Place half a cherry, cut side down, in center of each and press in lightly. Bake in a 325° F oven for about 20 minutes or until edges are golden. Transfer to racks and let cool completely.
