Ingredients
Unsalted Butter: A classic foundation for shortbread is butter and it’s worth softening those sticks for your ease of incorporation. It has all the creamy richness and taste we crave in shortbread.
Powdered Sugar: Because it dissolves more tenderly than granulated sugar in shortbread dough, it contributes to the soft texture of the cookies.
Maraschino Cherries: These sweet and festive cherries and all their pop of color and flavor would be a delightful addition to the cookies. Do not fail to wipe them thoroughly dry to prevent any contamination of moisture into the dough.
Chocolate Chips: Store them in miniature for an evenly melted chocolaty distribution, or break down chocolate chips into smaller bits; either way they will add that touch of indulgence in this dough.
Vanilla: Complements nicely with cherries and chocolate, pulling out the butter flavors.
