Notes
Make sure the butter is soft but not melted.
Try substituting dried cherries if fresh aren’t available.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon.
These small tips can make a big difference. Softened butter mixes easier and improves texture. If fresh cherries are hard to find, dried ones work just as well and add a unique chewiness. Adding cinnamon brings warmth and depth, making every bite a delightful surprise. I love how versatile and forgiving this recipe can be! 😋
