    Recipe Introduction

    (I usually make a batch using green cherries and another batch using red cherries for Christmas.)

    List of Ingredients

    1 cup shortening
    1 pkg. (3 oz.) cream cheese softened
    1 cup sugar
    1 egg
    1 teaspoon almond extract
    2-1/2 cups flour
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/4 tsp. baking soda
    1-1/3 cups finely chopped pecans
    Maraschino cherries, drained & halved

    Recipe

    Cream shortening and cream cheese together, gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add egg and almond extract. Beat well. Combine flour, salt and soda. Stir into creamed mixture. Chill dough at least one hour. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in pecans and place on ungreased cooking sheets. Gently press a cherry half into the center of each cookie. Bake at 350° F. for 16 to 18 minutes. Makes about 4 dozen.
