Ingredients

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup maraschino cherry juice
  • 5 Maraschino cherries chopped
  • 2 ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips divided

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Fold in 1/4 cup mini morsels.
  3. Spread dough on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. My dough measured about 14x9inch. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Cut immediately after removing from oven. I cut mine into strips by cutting in thirds lengthwise, then cutting one inch strips, width-wise.
  5. Melt remaining 1/4 cup mini morsels. Put into a ziploc bag and cut off the corner. Drizzle over cooled cookies. Allow to set and enjoy!

Notes

  • To spread cookie dough on parchment paper, dip fingertips (repeatedly) in flour to keep them from sticking.
  • Store cookies in air tight container for up to one week.
  • See blog post for more recipe tips and tricks.
