Spray a square baking pan with baking spray.

Cream 1/2 cup softened butter, add in sugars and cream again until fluffy. Add in egg and vanilla. Mix again. 

Combine flour, baking soda and salt, then add to the butter mixture. Once all combined, fold in chocolate chips, maraschino cherries, orange zest, and pistachio. 

Spread cookie dough into the bottom of the pan. Dough will spread as it cooks to fill in any gaps. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes.

While cookie bars are baking, break the Cannoli Candy Bar into pieces and place in the freezer. 

Remove pan from oven and carefully place candy bar pieces on top. Let cool completely before cutting.
