Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pat Cherries Completely Dry 🍒Thoroughly dry maraschino cherries with paper towels before placing on cookie dough to prevent excess moisture that causes spreading and soggy centers during baking.
- Chill Dough Before Scooping 🧊Refrigerate the cake mix dough for 15-20 minutes before shaping to prevent the cookies from spreading too much and help the red sugar crystals adhere better to the surface.
- Use Oil Instead of Butter 🫒The oil in this recipe creates a chewier, more tender cookie than traditional butter-based recipes while keeping the cherry moist and preventing a tough exterior.
- Press Cherry Into Center Firmly ⭐Nestle the maraschino cherry deep into the center of each dough ball so it bakes fully into the cookie rather than sliding off or burning on top during baking.
- Apply Red Sugar Before Baking 💎Roll or coat the dough balls in red sugar crystals before baking rather than after to ensure the sugar crystallizes and adheres permanently to the warm cookie surface.
