For the best results, ensure your butter is properly softened – it should be pliable but not melted.
Sifting the confectioners' sugar is crucial to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
Feel free to experiment with other decorations, such as sprinkles or chopped nuts, instead of or in addition to the maraschino cherries.
Store these cookies in an airtight container, separating each layer with parchment paper, to maintain their freshness and prevent sticking.
