Flash Back Friday ~ Cookie Sheet Cherry Platz




For Flashback Friday I decided to bring back this recipe that a friend shared with me a long time ago. It's still one of my favorites. Once I tasted it I knew it was a keeper. It is a large recipe, perfect to bring to family gatherings or potlucks.
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 can cherry pie filling (I used 1 1/2 cans, I like more filling but 1 can works fine too)
  1. Cream together butter and sugar, add eggs and beat well. Add flavorings.
  2. Stir in flour and baking powder and mix until well combined.
  3. Spread half the batter into a greased 12" x 17" pan. Put pie filling over base and using a spoon drop other half of the batter over filling. This dough is fairly thick so it doesn't really spread well over top, if you drop it by spoonfuls you get a pretty effect with the cherry pie filling peeking through.
  4. Bake in a 350ยบ oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Top should be slightly golden in color.
Glaze:
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Enough hot water for drizzle consistency.
  1. Drizzle over warm platz.

    1. Thank you for noticing we have not been posting new recipes on Saturdays. Just four days off a month gives us a bit of a break in the overall scheme of planning, preparing and picture taking. We do appreciate your visits.
