Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup butter, (softened)
  • 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup red glace cherries, (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup green glace cherries, (finely chopped)

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Prepare two baking sheets by lining with a silicone baking mat or with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, use a hand-held mixer to beat together the butter, vanilla, and confectioner’s sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the flour and salt. With the mixer on low speed, incorporate until just blended together.
  • Next, fold the cherries until well incorporated.
  • Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to 1/4 of an inch thick.
  • Use a cookie cutter - round or square - to cut the desired shape and size.  I used a 1 1/2 inch square cookie cutter.  
  • Transfer the cut cookie to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to continue the cooling process.
