This is another Christmas favorite in my house! I used to have so much fun pressing the cherries onto each cookie when I was younger. These cookies are sweet and delicious, both with and without the nuts! Cook time is if you bake about a dozen at a time. Ingredients:
1 cup margarine |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup karo light corn syrup |
2 eggs, divided |
2 1/2 cups flour |
2 cups nuts, finely chopped (we omit sometimes) |
candied cherry, halved |
Directions:
1. Mix margarine and sugar until fluffy.
2. Stir in Karo syrup and egg yolks; mix well.
3. Mix in flour.
4. Chill.
5. Roll into 1 inch balls.
6. Dip into slightly beaten egg whites and roll in chopped nuts.
7. Place on greased cookie sheets.
8. Press candied cherry halves into centers.
9. Bake in 325 degree F oven for 20 minutes.
