2) Use a spoon to dividing the dough into 24 pieces or any as you desire, put through the onto baking trays and use a spoon to shape into a flower shaped and then place glazed cherries on the centre of each cookie. Before baking, cover and place them in the refrigerator or freezer overnight, or no chilling the dough cookies still keep their shape when baked.
3) Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake in hot oven / no fan, for about 10-12 minutes. Let the cookies cool completely on a cooling rack before serving. Store cookies in any kind of container, as long as their lids fit tightly, or old fashioned cookie tins do the job perfectly.
