CHERRY WALNUT COOKIES

A delicious and pretty cookie to add to your Christmas cookie tray. Anna's recipe was one passed down for two generations in her family. Source: Canadian Living Magazine, from Anna OIson's - Anna and Michael Olson Cook at Home..

Categories     Dessert

Time 23m

Yield 12 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup icing sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups candied red cherries, cut in half
1 cup walnut halves, chopped

Steps:

  • In bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla.
  • Then add flour and salt; stir until blended.
  • Stir in cherries and walnuts.
  • Divide dough into thirds; shape each into 10" (25 cm) long log.
  • Wrap and chill until firm, at least 3 hours.
  • Cut logs into 1/8th" or 3 mm thick rounds and place about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart, on parchment lined baking sheets.
  • Bake in top and bottom thirds of 325 deg F oven, rotating and switching pans halfway through, just until edges begin to colour, 8-10 minutes.
  • These cookies brown even faster than shortbreads, so keep a close eye on them! I start checking early, and they're usually done around the 8 minute mark.
  • Let cool on pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack and let cool completely before storing. Store layered with waxed paper in airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to one month.
  • Makes about 12 dozen cookies (less, of course, if you cut them a little thicker).
  • These are really delicious cookies, well worth the time it takes to make them!
  • Hint: If you want to use red and green cherries do not mix the cherries in same batch, they look better if made separately!
  • Note: chill time of 3 hours is not included in prep time.

Tips:

  • To get the best flavor, use fresh cherries. If you don't have fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • If you don't have chopped walnuts, you can use another type of nut, such as pecans or almonds.
  • The dough will be sticky, so be sure to grease your hands or use a spoon to drop the dough onto the baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges and the centers are set. If you're not sure if they're done, insert a toothpick into the center of a cookie. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cookies are done.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
