Ingredients

The following ingredients have 48 Servings
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 cup red candied cherries, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup green candied cherries, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instruction

  • In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla and salt. Mix well. Stir in the flour until well blended. Stir in cherries and pecans.
  • Chill dough in refrigerator for 1 hour, or until easy to handle. Shape dough into three 10-inch logs.
  • Wrap each log in plastic wrap or parchment paper , then place in a freezer bag. (I put my wrapped dough logs in cardboard paper towel tubes before placing them in freezer bags). Freeze up to 2 months or until ready to bake.
  • To bake, preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cut frozen logs into 1/4-in. slices. Place on ungreased baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool completely on wire racks.
