    This Christmas Shortbread Cookies Recipe calls for using Maraschino cherries that are drained - be sure to drain them and pat them down because any extra liquid will make them too moist.

      I agree with previous comments, there is an ingredient missing. No way could I get the dough to form a ball, too dry. I added maraschino cherry juice. Maybe about 1/4 cup. Baked and cookies taste good and have that nice red color.

      One of the cake mix companies used to have a cherry chip cake. mix. I would make them for Valentines Day for my children's class parties.
      Now can't find the cake mix anymore. But was thrilled to see yours today.
      I just got some fresh blueberries going to make some blue berry cookies tomorrow.
      Will try yours next week.
      Thanks for the recipe

      Oh a cherry chip cake mix sounds heavenly - I hate when brands discontinue products that I love!

      WAY too dry to make the balls of dough to bake. Clearly, there is something missing from the recipe or the quantities are incorrect. Very disappointed that I prepped everything but didn't read the reviews.
