My Grandma's personal favorite to have with tea every Christmas. A recipe passed down through the years and not changed one bit.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c unsalted butter, room temperature
1 c sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 2/3 c flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
1 c candied red cherries, chopped coarsely

Steps:

  • 1. Beat butter & sugar for about 3 minutes with an electric mixer, or until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat 1 minute more.
  • 2. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Add gradually to the butter mixture, making sure not to beat too much and stir in cherries by hand.
  • 3. Divide the dough into thirds; roll each into a log. Cover in waxed paper or parchment paper, then plastic wrap. Chill overnight or freeze until ready to use, for up to a month (be sure to thaw out if frozen).
  • 4. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice into ¼" slices and bake 375 10 minutes, until barely brown. Store wrapped in refrigerator or freeze until ready to thaw and slice.
