In a medium bowl, stir together the shortening and cream cheese until

Lightly grease cookie sheets.
Before rolling out the dough, dust the rolling surface heavily with
confectioners' sugar.
Roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 1x4 inch strips.
Place a
cherry on the end of each strip. Roll up each strip starting with the
cherry.
Place on prepared cookie sheets and dust with a little of the
confectioners'
sugar.
