BUTTER WHIRL BISCUITS
Maraschino cherries proudly sit upon swirls of buttery piped dough in this cookie, the likes of which are found all over Ireland. They might be homemade like they were in my house (and as is my preference, of course) or store-bought, but either way, they feature a wonderful crumbly texture that goes really well with the chewy cherries. It's not uncommon to sandwich two cookies with jam--or even better, try sandwiching them with my Best-Ever Buttercream Frosting if you want to get really indulgent. Cookies this pretty are nice to give as a gift--arrange them in a decorative cookie tin and finish it off with a colorful ribbon.
