This is my dad's favorite Christmas cookie. It is on the order of a shortbred cookie. I absolutely hate nuts but you don't really taste them in this cookie. I put the nuts in my blend and ground them fine. Ingredients:
3/4 cup shortening |
1/4 cup butter |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup powdered sugar |
2 tablespoons vanilla (yes tablespoons) |
2 cups flour |
1 cup pecans, finely chopped |
20 candied cherries |
Directions:
1. Blend together shortening, butter, salt, sugar and vanilla.
2. Add flour and pecans and mix into a soft dough.
3. Chill.
4. Preheat oven to 325° F and grease cookie sheets.
5. Measure out level tablespoonfuls of dough and roll between palms of hands to form round balls.
6. Place on greased cookie sheets.
7. Press a little indentation in center in each cookie with a thimble and put half of cherry on top.
8. Bake in preheated 325 oven for 25 minutes.
