A festive melt in your mouth cookie, and very easy to make.

Ingredients

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

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. 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.
