Mum used to make these biscuits for me all the time as a kid, and they are still so good! I think they may have come from a Women's Weekly cookbook, but they're really simple biscuits to make, use basic ingredients and suit so many tastes... whenever they've been made they always go down a real treat (and they look pretty special to!).
Ingredients:
125 g butter, room temperature
1/4 cup caster sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 cup self-raising flour
125 g chopped mixed nuts
15 glace cherries, halved
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Cream the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
3. Add the egg and the vanilla, beating well.
4. Sift the flour into the mixture and combine to form a soft dough.
5. Drop round teaspoonfuls of mixture into the nuts.
6. Roll in balls.
7. Place onto lined oven trays (allowing room for spreading) and press half a cherry on top of each biscuit.
8. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
9. Allow to cool slightly before removing biscuits from their trays.
