In bowl beat butter with icing sugar until fluffy. Add in egg and vanilla beating to combine. Next dump in your flour & salt stirring until everyone is happy. Finally add in your cherries & walnuts. Divide your dough into thirds and shape each section into a 10 inch long log. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill until firm – at least 3 hours.

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.

With a sharp knife cut logs into 1/8 inch thick rounds. This is really thin and mine end up between 1/8 & 1/4 inch thick…it still works fine. Place on prepared baking sheets (covered with parchment paper), approx. 1 inch apart. Bake in top and bottom thirds of oven, rotating and switching pans halfway through just until edges begin to colour.

Watch them carefully – every oven is different!
