Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 425F/218C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.Whisk together flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
3.Cut in the margarine into the flour mixture until you have coarse crumbs. Add chopped cherries to the mixture.
4.In a separate glass, stir together the almond extract and non-dairy milk. Pour wet mixture into the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
5.Gather dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough gently, adding flour as necessary to keep the dough from sticking to the surface. Stop kneading when dough is smooth and holds together.
6.Divide the dough into balls (around 2 inches in diameter). Press the balls into flattened rounds. Place the rounds on the baking sheet.
