Candied Fruit Slices
Ready In: 4 hrs 55 mins
Yields: 96 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1⁄4 cups sifted flour
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 2 cups candied cherries, halved
Directions
- Cream the butter. Gradually add the sifted confectioners' sugar, creaming well.
- Blend in the unbeaten egg and vanilla. Add the sifted flour; mix well.
- Stir in the pecan halves and cherry halves. (I like to substitute some yellow candied pineapple for a portion of the cherries to add more color to the cookies. Cut the pineapple into pieces about the size of the cherry halves.).
- Chill the dough 1 hour.
- Divide the dough into thirds. Shape into rolls 12 inches long. Wrap each roll in waxed paper or foil; chill at least 3 hours.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Cut each roll into slices 1/8th inch thick and place on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake in preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes or until edges are delicately browned.
