Ingredients 

Shortbread

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Topping

  • 1 cup chocolate chips melted
  • ½ cup chopped cherries

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  3. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. The dough will be crumbly but should hold together when pressed.
  4. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. Once the cookies are cool, dip half of each cookie into the melted chocolate and place them back on the parchment paper. Sprinkle with chopped cherries.
  7. Let the chocolate set before serving.
