Shortbread
1 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup dried cherries, chopped
3/4 cup white baking chips
Drizzle
1/2 cup white baking chips
2 teaspoons shortening
STEP 1
Heat oven to 350°F.
STEP 2
Combine butter, sugar and vanilla in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add flour; beat at low speed until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cherries and white baking chips.
STEP 3
Divide mixture in half. Press mixture firmly and evenly into 2 ungreased (9-inch) round baking pans. Bake 22-26 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 15 minutes. Cut each pan into 16 wedges. Cool completely. Remove from pans.
STEP 4
Melt white chocolate and shortening in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Drizzle over cooled wedges. Let stand until set.
Shortbread is a drier and more crumbly dough, so make sure to press it firmly into each pan before baking to ensure the dough holds together.

Delicious! Followed the directions exactly and they came out perfect. Make sure you follow the baker's tip which is to pack the dough tightly in the pan. I may add almond extract next time just because I love it and it usually goes well with cherries.
I have made this recipe a few times and absolute love it. I replace 1/3 CUP of the flour with corn starch, it gives the cookie a velvety taste and texture.
These are good, have great potential. As I have found before with Land O Lakes recipes, there is too much flour in the recipe. I considered reducing the amount of flour from 2 1/3 cups to just 2 cups. Should have, will next time.
Made these for a cookie exchange and everyone RAVED about them! Make sure you don't cook too long, and I found that pressing the dough in the pan with a sheet of wax paper worked beautifully. If you don't press them together well enough, they will crumble apart when you taken them out of the pan. Thanks for a wonderful recipe
Made it for a party using both cherries and cranberry craisens. Rave reviews.
Whether you go for the crumb cake, shortbread or pie, this assortment of goodies will add lots of life to that bowlful of cherries.
