FESTIVE CHERRYETTES
This is my dad's favorite Christmas cookie. It is on the order of a shortbred cookie. I absolutely hate nuts but you don't really taste them in this cookie. I put the nuts in my blend and ground them fine.

[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cherryettes came out flat and doughy. I think I might have overmixed the dough.
