- 1/2 tsp salt

Notes
- For a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them by 1-2 minutes.
- You can substitute the maraschino cherries with dried cherries if you prefer less sweetness.
- If you don’t have all-purpose flour, you can use 2 3/4 cups of cake flour instead, but the texture might change slightly.
