Christmas Maraschino Cherry Shortbread Cookies

Add flour and salt mixture and mix until it starts forming larger clumps.

Let them cool for 5 minutes on a baking sheet before transfer them to a rack to cool completely.

Yum I love cherries and chocolate! These look very festive too, thanks for sharing!

UPDATE............I made these for the second time because I have never had a cookie defeat me. I altered the recipe a bit. I added more vanilla increased to one teaspoon and cooked the cookies at 350 for 20 minutes. Rotated the cookie sheet at 10 min. Putting the top sheet on the bottom and the bottom sheet to the top. The tops of the cookie don’t turn slightly brown in my opinion. The bottoms do. But don’t see it on the top.  With the addition of more vanilla I still don’t taste vanilla. So two tries with these. Won’t be making them again. :(

I agree with so many of the other reviews.  These were incredibly bland and had an almost off putting aftertaste. Very disappointing because the ingredients seemed so straightforward and the pictures looked like they would have been a home run.  I’ve never left an online review of a recipe before, but felt inclined to do so in this instance because they are just that bad. Save your time and money on the ingredients. Do yourself a favor and skip this recipe.

Ohh, they look fantastic! I rally love de combination of the red cherry and The choclate ☺ These cookies I must do, and serve for my familj On christmas eve in Sweden.  Thank you for idea! ?

Could this dough be frozen as a log, defrosted and then sliced and baked?

I made these cookies last night using jarred maraschino cherries which I chopped, rinsed and dried.  Added them to the shortbread ingredients.  Still turned the dough pink.  After refrigerating for the appropriate amount of time, I baked them.  Probably the worst cookies I ever made.  Very labor intensive,  the chopped cherries also stained everything.  They added nothing to the flavor of the shortbread, actually they detracted from the taste (and I like maraschinos).  Will not make these again.  I also used chocolate chips.

Made these several times, everyone loved them (including me). Used maraschino cherries, chopped and dried between paper towels and did not make cookies pink at all. These are sooooo delicious and pretty too ?

Thought these turned out delicious and very cute.  All I had available was the jarred maraschino cherries, so I drained them, chopped them, then put them on a baking sheet on parchment paper and in the oven at 250 to dry them out.  Worked great.  Also used mini chocolate chips instead of fullsize.  Everyone who has tasted them so far said they are a keeper! Taking them to a cookie swap tonight! :)

I just wanted to let you know I made these for Christmas this year and they were delicious! I refrigerated my dough overnight, I don't know if that helped, but mine turned out very well :D  Thanks

Unfortunately I agree that they are pretty but don’t taste very good.  I am going to make a glaze and color it green and drizzle over them.  1/2 cup powdered sugar isn’t very much.  I also might try almond extract instead of vanilla.  I think it is the lack of sugar that makes them  so bland.

I plan on making these this weekend, will be using dried cherries. I checked the comments and that really helped me to decide the kind of cherries to use. Thank for the recipe and all your help.

They turned out great. I candied my cherries and let them cool overnight in the fridge. Towel dried, dusted with flour and hand chopped. I used semi sweet chips and milk chocolate chips also.  Can’t wait to share these with family! Thank you!

These are so, so good! I made it as directed and already want to make it again!

I’m getting ready to bake these right now.  I used the  candied cherries and I added a little almond extract as well.

This biscuit is really Beautiful,  I have added it to my freeze and slice list, because I live on my own don't want the temptation so when I have friends coming over I let the roll soften just enough to slice so I can put it back in the freezer.  This recipe is right up there with my favourite stickyginfer roll......

Just finished making these and I had some reservations based on the comments but they turned out pretty well.  I used maraschino cherries but chopped and dried out for 15 minutes in the oven which helped and didn’t turn my dough pink. I wish I would have used mini chocolate chips as it was hard to slice through the normal chocolate chips. Other than that, they are very yummy! Excited to serve them up at Christmas!

I just made these and really enjoy them! Thank you for the recipe!

Followed recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly for a cookie exchange. For the people complaining about them veing too crumbky and dry, I wonder how they aee measuring their flour? You should always spoon flour lightly into the measuring cup, then level with a knife - sounds lije they may be scooping the flour into the cup, which packs it in.

These are incredible! I added a 1/2 cup of granulated sugar because of the “not sweet enough” comments, I also used salted butter. I did not have the dough turn pink, and baked these 15 minutes.. they turned out and taste amazing!

Just made these and they came out just like I thought they would! Yummy, simple and festive shortbread cookie! I used dried candied cherries so my dough did not turn pink. My one mistake was that I used ghiradelli dark chocolate chips which are large and kind of hard. I chopped them up before folding them into the dough, but not enough, so it made the dough challenging to slice, but I was able to work around it. Next time, I’ll use mini chips or even chocolate shavings. Great recipe!
I baked for 9 mins at 325 and that was perfect.

Without reading all the comments, a little almond flavor (pure) goes a long way.  Most flavor from maraschino cherries and draining them an extended time goes a long way to reduce color running. Covering the roll in red sugar was an added simple decoration. Baking takes patience, don't give up on this simple and delicious recipe!

Glazed shortbread cookies flavored with eggnog and cinnamon adding a subtle flavor of the classic holiday drink.

Glazed Eggnog Shortbread Cookies

cornstarch

cinnamon

unsalted butter (room temperature (I used Gaylea unsalted butter))

eggnog

sprinkles

cinnamon sugar

sanding sugar

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt.

In mixer bowl, cream butter, eggnog and icing sugar together until smooth and fluffy. About 2 minutes.

Turn mixer on low and slowly add flour mixture. Continue to mix on low until dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Roll dough between two pieces of parchment paper to about 1/4" - 1/2" thickness depending on your preference. Refrigerate rolled out dough for at least 1 hour.

Once chilled, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2-3 large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Remove dough from the refrigerator and using a cookie cutter, cut in shapes. Transfer the cut cookie dough to the prepared baking sheet about 1/2 inch apart.

Bake for 10-13 minutes until cookies are slightly golden on bottom edges. Cool on a wire rack.

Re-roll the remaining dough and continue cutting until all the dough is used up.

Whisk icing sugar and ground cinnamon into eggnog until it becomes smooth and creamy. Once cookies have cooled, place on parchment paper and use a spoon to drizzle or spread glaze over each one. Top with sprinkles, cinnamon sugar or sanding sugar as desired. Allow the glaze to harden (approximately an hour) before serving.

An egg is the organic vessel containing the zygote in which an animal embryo develops until it can survive on its own, at which point the animal hatches. An egg results from fertilization of an ovum.

vanilla bean extract

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone mat, set aside. Makes 24-30 depending on size.

In a microwave safe bowl heat the butter and chocolate chips on high in 30 second increments until melted, stirring after every 30 seconds (or in a small saucepan over medium heat until melted).

In bowl of mixer, beat the melted butter/chocolate with the sugar. Add egg and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until incorporated.

Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.

Dry Ingredients

Add the dry ingredients to the wet in mixing bowl and stir to combine. Mixture will be slightly loose. Place bowl in refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up the dough.

Using a scoop or measured tablespoon, drop cookie dough onto baking sheets (either keep rounded or flatten slightly if you prefer). Bake for 7-8 minutes until cookies just appear set. They will still be very soft on the inside. Don&#39;t over bake these or they will be hard. You just want a firm dense center.

Assembly

In a medium saucepan combine butter, cocoa powder and buttermilk over medium heat, whisk until blended. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar.

Once the cookies are cooled, dip each into the frosting, shake excess and place on wire rack. Sprinkle with crushed pecans if desired, then allow frosting to dry.
