Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 tablespoons butter, (room temperature)
  • 3 tablespoons honey 
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt 
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 
  • 1 cup nuts, (toasted and finely chopped*)
  • 1/2 cup tart cherries, (dried)
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar ((confectioners' sugar), sifted)

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, cream butter.  Beat in honey; gradually stir in flour, salt and vanilla extract.  Mix in nuts and dried cherries.  Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Using your hands, roll dough into 1-inch balls.  Place onto ungreased cookie sheets 2-inches apart.  Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until a dark golden brown.  Remove from oven and cool slightly on wire racks.
  • While cookies are baking, place the sifted powdered sugar in a shallow dish.
  • While cookies are still warm, roll the cookies in powdered sugar. When cookies have cooled completely, roll them again in the confectioners sugar to give them a nice even coating of sugar.
  • Store in an airtight container.
