Ingredients

• 200 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 200 grams Cherry jam
• 150 grams Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a rectangular baking tin (approximately 9x13 inches) with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overwork the dough.

Step 4

Press the dough evenly into the lined baking tin, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon or a spatula.

Step 5

Bake the shortbread base in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the tin.

Step 6

Once the shortbread has cooled, spread an even layer of cherry jam over the surface using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. The glaze should be thick yet pourable. Add a few more drops of milk if necessary to achieve the desired consistency.

Step 8

Drizzle the glaze over the cherry jam layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula or palette knife.

Step 9

Allow the glaze to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the dessert into small rectangles (2x4 cm) to resemble domino pieces.

Step 10

Store the Cherry Dominos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
