Yield 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups butter
2 egg yolks
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups cake flour
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt (can omit if using salted butter)
2 cups nuts (choice of soft nut)
3 -4 cups candied cherries

Steps:

  • Beat the butter, egg yolks and brown sugar until creamy. Add vanilla and beat again. Remove beater and get a spoon to mix the rest of the way. Alternate adding flour, nuts and candied cherries.

  • Bake at 350F for 12-13 minutes. These cookies will brown very fast due to the butter content. You should remove them when the bottoms are just starting to turn brown.

The cookies were good, but I thought they were a little dry. I might try adding some extra butter next time.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less sugar.
