Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup maraschino cherries chopped
- 2/3 cup chocolate chips
Directions
- Mix flour and salt set aside. Cream 1 cup unsalted softened butter with 1/2 cup powdered sugar, mix in vanilla. Add flour and salt mixture and mix until it starts forming larger clumps.
- Mix in chocolate chips and maraschino cherries.
- Form the dough into the log and press it well or it will crumble when you slice the cookies (the log should be about 2 inches thick) Wrap it in the plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the log into 1/4 or 1/3-inch-thick slices (if the slices crumble, press it back together with your hands) and place them on a baking sheet with one inch of space between.
- Bake the cookies 10– 15 minutes (until they just start to turn lightly golden brown on top). Let them cool for 5 minutes on a baking sheet before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
