Cherry Pecan Icebox Cookies image

I like cookie recipes that allow me to prepare them one day and then bake them as I need them. The cherries make this a nice Christmas treat.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c butter, unsalted, room temperature
1 c icing sugar, sifted
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 c all purpose flour
1/4 tsp fine salt
2 c candied red cherries, cut in half
1 c chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. 1. Cream butter and icing sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Sift flour and salt over butter mixture and stir until well blended. Stir in candied cherries and pecans. Divide dough into 3 equal pieces and shape into round logs, 10-inches in length and about an inch in diameter. Wrap and chill until firm, at least 3 hours. 2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. and line a baking tray with parchment paper. 3. Cut rounds of cookie dough as thinly as possible, about 1/8-inch thick and place on baking tray 1-inch apart. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, just until the outside edge of the cookie begins to color. Remove and cool completely. 4. Cookies can be made and stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or frozen. Unbaked dough can also be wrapped airtight and then frozen. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

I like to add a little bit of lemon zest to the cookie dough. It gives the cookies a bright, citrusy flavor.

I love that these cookies can be made ahead of time. I often make a batch on the weekend and then have them on hand for snacks or dessert throughout the week.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover cherries. I always have a few cherries left over after making cherry pie, and these cookies are the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of cherries, but I loved these cookies. The cherry filling is subtle and not too sweet.

I love the texture of these cookies. They're soft and chewy, with a little bit of crunch from the pecans.
