| Prep time | 20 minutes |
| 1 | Cup | butter |
| 1 1⁄2 | Cup | sugar |
| 4 | eggs (beaten) | |
| 1 | Teaspoon | vanilla |
| 1 | Teaspoon | almond or lemon extract |
| 2 | Cup | flour |
| 1 | Can | cherry pie filling (15 oz.) |
| 1 | Pinch | confectioners' sugar (or to taste) |
Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and extracts; beat until fluffy. Stir in flour; mix well. Spread batter in greased 10x15-inch or 12x15-inch pan and mark into 24 squares with a knife. Drop 3–4 cherries in the center of each square. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Cool. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar; cut into 24 squares.
We always use almond extract instead of lemon extract. Also, we occasionally will use blueberry pie filling, but cherry is my favorite. These are delicious!
