Baking Instructions

• Mix flour and salt, set aside.
• Cream 1 cup unsalted softened butter with ½ cup powdered sugar, mix in vanilla.
• Add flour and salt mixture and mix until it starts forming larger clumps.
• Mix in chocolate chips and maraschino cherries.
• Form the dough into a log and press it well or it will crumble when you slice the cookies (the log should be about 2 inch thick). Wrap it in the plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 1-2 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 325 F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut the log into ¼ or ⅓ inch thick slices (if the slices crumbles, press it back together with your hands) and place them onto baking sheet with one inch of space between.
• Bake the cookies 10–15 minutes (until they just start to turn lightly golden brown on top).
• Let them cool for 5 minutes on a baking sheet before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
