1/3 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup dried cherries, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with foil, leaving foil overhanging at 2 opposite sides of pan; spray foil with cooking spray.
