Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ tsp salt
½ cup maraschino cherries, finely chopped (drained and patted dry)
½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Extra powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in vanilla extract.
Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms.
Fold in chopped cherries and chocolate chips (if using).
Scoop dough into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheet.
Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until bottoms are lightly golden.
Cool for 5 minutes, then roll warm cookies in powdered sugar.
Cool completely, then dust again for that snowy finish.
