A PRETTY cookie which will make your cookie tray at Christmas look good! The cherry and nut combination in a buttery base is delicious! A rolled type dough which can be made and baked later. These cookies freeze very well for make ahead plans. This basic cookie dough I have tried many times substituting different ad-ins. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
2 cups sugar |
2 eggs |
3 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup candied cherry, chopped |
1 cup pecans, chopped |
Directions:
1. Mix softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
2. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl and add to creamed mixture. Stir in candied cherries and pecans.
3. Shape dough into long rolls about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap in wax paper and chill at least 4 hours. (May be made days ahead before baking and stored in refrigerator or freezer. Let dough thaw slightly before slicing.).
4. Unwrap and cut into 1/4 inch slices; place on ungreased cookie sheet.
5. Bake in a 350 degree oven for approximately 10 minutes.
