1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 3 baking trays with parchment paper.
2. Combine the butter, sugar, heavy cream and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring often.
3. Take the pan off the heat, stir in the vanilla, then set the syrup aside to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Put the walnuts, almonds, maraschino cherries and flour in a large bowl and mix.
5. Pour the cooled syrup over the dry mixture and stir until evenly combined.
6. Drop heaping mini ice cream scoops of batter onto the trays, leaving at least 2 inches between cookies and no more than 8 cookies per tray.
7. Bake each tray on the center rack for about 15 minutes, until the edges are golden.
8. Let the cookies cool completely, then freeze them for 15 to 20 minutes.
9. Melt the semisweet and white chocolate separately in two bowls.
10. Spread a thin layer of both chocolates over the flat bottom of each cookie.
11. Use a fork to draw wavy lines in the chocolate.
12. Freeze the decorated cookies for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
