Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Unsalted Butter (softened)
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 0.25 cup Maraschino Cherry Juice
- 5 cherries Maraschino Cherries (chopped)
- 2.25 cup All-purpose Flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Kosher Salt

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with powdered sugar for two minutes, until creamy. Add cherry juice, cherries, flour and salt. Beat until fully combined.
- Fold in 0.25 cup mini morsels.
- Spread dough on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. My dough measured about 14x9inch. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Cut immediately after removing from oven. I cut mine into strips by cutting in thirds lengthwise, then cutting one inch strips, width-wise.
- Melt remaining 0.25 cup mini morsels. Put into a ziploc bag and cut off the corner. Drizzle over cooled cookies. Allow to set and enjoy!
Notes
For an extra touch, dip half of each cookie in melted white chocolate!
