Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cups - butter
- 1/2 cups - butter flavored shortening
- 1 cups - white sugar
- 1 - egg
- 1 teaspoons - vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups - all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons - baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoons - salt
- 20 ounces - maraschino cherries drained & chopped
- 1 1/4 cups - pecans chopped
- 1 jars - red decorator sugar
Directions:
In a medium bowl, beat together butter and shortening. Add sugar and cream well. Mix in the egg and vanilla. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture.
Pat the cherries between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Stir cherries and pecans into dough. Cover and chill for 2 hours.
Shape the cold dough into 2 logs. Roll them in colored sugar, wrap in wax paper and chill again until firm (about 1 hour).
Preheat oven to 400° F. Lightly grease cookie sheets.
Unwrap dough and slice into 1/4-inch slices. Place on prepared cookie sheets, and bake for 8-10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool 1 minute before removing to wire racks to finish cooling.
