Shortbread

1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup red maraschino cherries, halved

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large bowl, combine butter, flour, and confectioners' sugar. With an electric mixer, beat for 10 minutes, until light and fluffy. Spoon onto cookie sheets, spacing cookies 2 inches apart. Place a piece of maraschino cherry onto the middle of each cookie. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly browned.
