Ingredients
- 1 cup of unsalted butter brought to room temperature
- 1/2 cup of confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of fine salt
- 3/4 cup of well-drained maraschino cherries chopped (It is advisable to lay the cherries on a paper towel to ensure they are well-drained. Alternatively, candied maraschino cherries may be employed.)
- 2/3 cup of premium quality chocolate chips
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and fine salt. Once combined, set aside for future incorporation.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter that has been softened to room temperature with the confectioners’ sugar. Once a smooth consistency is achieved, integrate the pure vanilla extract.
Gradually introduce the flour and salt mixture to the butter-sugar blend. Continue mixing until the mixture begins to form larger clumps, indicative of a cohesive dough.
