CHERRY WALNUT COOKIES



Cherry Walnut Cookies image

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..

Provided by Elly in Canada

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:

- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture. - Toasting the oats before using will enhance their flavor. - Be sure to use unsalted butter to control the amount of salt in the cookies. - Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much. - Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges but still soft in the center. - Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying.

Conclusion:

These oatmeal, dried cherry, and walnut cookies are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast treat. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Try adding different dried fruits, nuts, or spices to create your own unique flavor combinations. With their chewy texture and sweet and tart flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
