Description

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup maraschino cherry juice
• 5 maraschino cherries, chopped
• 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, divided

Directions

• 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 1/4 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 1/4 cup mini morsels. Put into a ziploc bag and cut off the corner. Drizzle over cooled cookies. Allow to set and enjoy! Store cookies in air tight container for up to one week.
