This is one of my favorite Christmas cookies. When I was little my mom would make these because she didnt like chocolate chip cookies. I make these now for my boys and they love'em too :) They eat them almost quicker than I can get them baked.
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup real butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar (white)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
2 eggs
6 ounces candied red cherries, chopped into small pieces
1 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugars.
2. Add eggs and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl mix flour, baking soda, and salt.
4. Add to wet ingredients slowly and mix well.
5. Add chopped cherries and pecans.
6. Chill dough for 45 - 60 minutes.
7. Drop by teaspoonfuls on cookie sheet.
8. BAKE in preheated 375-degree [Fahrenheit] oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Let stand for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
10. * For bigger cookies use tablespoons, but yield will be less.
