Cherry Christmas Cookies
(6 dozen)
Ingredients:
1
cup Unsalted Butter, room temperature
1
cup Powdered Sugar
1
large Fresh Egg
1
tsp. Vanilla Extract
2¼
cups All-Purpose Flour
2
cups Candied Cherries (red & green colored), halved
1
cup Pecan Halves
Directions:
In
a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until
fluffy. Add flour a half cup at a time
until well mixed. Stir in the cherries
and pecans and then chill dough for an hour.
Divide dough in thirds and form each piece into a 10 inch roll or
log. Wrap each roll in plastic and place
in a large freezer bag. Freeze until
solid. Take one roll at a time and slice
into 24 pieces. Place on an ungreased baking
sheet and put in a pre-heated 325 degree oven for 10-12 minutes or until edges
are golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
Note: You get about 2
dozen cookies out of each roll of frozen dough.
The frozen rolls will last a few months in the freezer. That way you can always have some ready to
bake on short notice.
