Butterball Christmas Cookies image

My mother had this cookie recipe since the 40's and I've been making it ever since I started baking. They are easy, pretty, delicious, and everyone's favorite even when it's NOT during Christmas baking. You roll them into balls and fit dozens on one cookie sheet - easy as can be.

Time 30m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
2 3/4 cups flour
maraschino cherry

Steps:

  • Cream sofft butter, adding sugar gradually.
  • Add egg yolks, slowing blending. Add flour gradually.
  • Work dough around a cherry to form a balll. I make mine about 1 inch across, but you can make them smaller or larger.
  • Place on greased cookie sheet (or, on parchment) and bake slowly at 325 for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Cool completely. Then, shake in confectioners sugar.
  • They are light, and melt-in-your-mouth good (especially with cold milk). Enjoy!

These cookies were a disappointment. They were not as soft and chewy as I expected. I will not be making them again.

I made these cookies for my family and they were not impressed. The cookies were too dry and crumbly. I won't be making them again.
