Ingredients
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup maraschino cherries chopped
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips white and/or dark
Instructions
- In a mixer, cream the butter and the sugar. In a bowl sift together the flour and the salt.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the butter and sugar mixture until it comes together. Mix in the maraschino cherries, white chocolate and dark chocolate chips.
- Using a spatula, scoop the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, and form into a 2 inch diameter log. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap, and freeze for 40 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or Silpat (silicone baking sheet). Unwrap the cookie dough log, and using a very sharp knife, cut into 1/4-inch slices, and arrange on the baking sheets. This makes 24 cookies.
