During the holiday season, I keep a roll of dough for these crisp cookies in the freezer. It's nice to offer unexpected company a home-baked treat. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1-1/4 cups sugar |
1 egg |
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 cup chopped pecans |
3/4 cup red and/or green candied cherries |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in pecans and candied cherries.
2. Shape into four 8-in. rolls; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.
3. Unwrap and cut into 1/8- to 1/4-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 7-8 minutes or until lightly browned and edges are set. Cool for 1-2 minutes before removing to wire racks. Yield: 13 dozen.
