Viewed: 26 - Published at: 9 months agoIngredients
- 1 cup Shortening
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 cup White Sugar
- 1 cup Chopped Maraschino Cherries
- 3 whole Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 4 cups Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 cups Chopped Pecans
- _____
- FOR THE FROSTING:
- 2 Tablespoons Butter, Softened
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 5 Tablespoons Cherry Juice, More Or Less Depending On Desired Consistency
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together shortening, sugars and cherries. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat again. In a separate bowl, add and mix the flour, baking soda and baking powder together; add to the creamed mixture. Chill dough for at least an hour, then roll into 1-inch balls on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. When done, chopped pecans can be sprinkled on top of the frosting.
- For the simple butter frosting, mix the frosting ingredients together. You can experiment with the amount of powdered sugar-less gives it a more buttery flavor, more gives it a more sugary flavor.
