Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Whipped Shortbread Cookies with Maraschino Cherries.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for some delicious baking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, grab your electric mixer and combine softened butter, confectioners' sugar, and all-purpose flour.
Step 3
Beat these ingredients together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 4
This is where the magic begins! Once your dough is ready, scoop spoonfuls and drop them onto ungreased baking sheets, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each one.
Step 5
Now, for a fun touch, gently press a quartered maraschino cherry—red or green, your choice—into the center of each cookie.
Step 6
This little pop of color will make your treats even more inviting! Slide the baking sheets into your preheated oven and let them bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the bottoms are just lightly browned.
Step 7
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible! After baking, allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes.
Step 8
This is the perfect time to savor the anticipation.
Step 9
Finally, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, and get ready to enjoy your delightful creations!.
