These are a cookie that I always make at Christmas time...they are great, cause you can freeze the cookie dough for 2 months, I usually make lots, so I always have the dough ready for when I need it....these taste so buttery and good. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened (no subsitutions) |
1 cup icing sugar (confectioners) |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 1/2 cups flour |
2 cups red and green glazed cherries, halved |
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar.
2. Add the egg and vanilla; beat until fluffy.
3. Add the flour; mix well.
4. Stir in cherries and pecans.
5. Chill the dough for 1 hour.
6. Shape the dough into three 10-in rolls; wrap in plastic wrap, and place in a zip-lock freezer bag.
7. Freeze up to 2 months.
8. TO BAKE COOKIES: Remove the rolls from the freezer.
9. Cut rolls into 1/8-inch slices.
10. Place the cookies 1-inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
11. Bake at 325 degrees for 10-12 mins, or until the edges are golden brown (don't overbake).
12. Remove to wire racks; cool.
