Ingredients

1/2

cup butter, softened

1

package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened

1

cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

1/8

teaspoon salt

1

cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

24

large maraschino cherries, drained

Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 24 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.

In medium bowl, beat butter and cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until well mixed. On low speed, beat in flour and salt until dough forms.

Shape dough into 24 (1 1/4-inch) balls. Press in bottoms and up sides of muffin cups. Fill each cup with about 2 teaspoons chocolate chips. Top each with a cherry.

Bake 13 to 16 minutes or until edges of cups are golden brown. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from muffin cups to cooling rack; cool completely.
