Time 35m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup confectioners' sugar
¼ cup red maraschino cherries, quartered
¼ cup green maraschino cherries, quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a large bowl, combine butter, flour, and confectioners' sugar. With an electric mixer, beat for 10 minutes, until light and fluffy. Spoon onto cookie sheets, spacing cookies 2 inches apart. Place a piece of maraschino cherry onto the middle of each cookie, alternating between red and green.
  • Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly browned. Remove from oven, and let cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer cookies on to wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container, separating each layer with waxed paper.
