Time 55m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup soft margarine or 3/4 cup soft butter
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups mixed nuts
1 1/2 cups candied cherries, halved
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Combine flour with 1/3 cup brown sugar.
  • Cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Press mixture firmly and evenly onto bottom of an ungreased 15x10 jelly roll pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, beat egg slightly in large bowl.
  • Stir in remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar and salt.
  • Add salted mixed nuts, 1-1/2 cups halved candied cherries and chocolate chips.
  • Toss mixture lightly to coat.
  • Spoon fruit mixture evenly over baked layer.
  • Press firmly to adhere layers together.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Cool, then cut into approximately 24 bars.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in the best-tasting Christmas jewels. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate chips.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for success. Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients, especially the flour and sugar.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dry cookies. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature: The oven temperature should be accurate, and the cookies should be baked for the correct amount of time. Use an oven thermometer to ensure that the oven is at the correct temperature.

Conclusion:

Christmas jewels are a delicious and festive treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning and effort, you can create beautiful and delicious Christmas jewels that will impress your friends and family.
