Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 14

¾ cup white sugar
¾ cup packed brown sugar
¾ cup butter flavored shortening
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups quick cooking oats
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup dried cherries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a mixer bowl, combine the white sugar, brown sugar and shortening. Beat until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time mixing well after each one. Beat mixture until well combined.
  • Mix in the milk, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and vanilla to the egg mixture. Beat for one minute. Add the flour and mix until incorporated. Add the walnuts and mix again. Add the oats one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the dried tart cherries and mix just until they are distributed evenly.
  • Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Do not shape them, they will spread evenly during the baking process. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 12 to 13 minutes. The tops of the cookies should just turn a light golden brown. Remove the cookies from the oven and let sit on the sheets for about 5 minutes before moving the cookies to cooling racks. Let cookies cool to room temperature than place in airtight containers for storage.

Categories     Dessert

Time 23m

Yield 12 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup icing sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups candied red cherries, cut in half
1 cup walnut halves, chopped

Steps:

  • In bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla.
  • Then add flour and salt; stir until blended.
  • Stir in cherries and walnuts.
  • Divide dough into thirds; shape each into 10" (25 cm) long log.
  • Wrap and chill until firm, at least 3 hours.
  • Cut logs into 1/8th" or 3 mm thick rounds and place about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart, on parchment lined baking sheets.
  • Bake in top and bottom thirds of 325 deg F oven, rotating and switching pans halfway through, just until edges begin to colour, 8-10 minutes.
  • These cookies brown even faster than shortbreads, so keep a close eye on them! I start checking early, and they're usually done around the 8 minute mark.
  • Let cool on pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack and let cool completely before storing. Store layered with waxed paper in airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to one month.
  • Makes about 12 dozen cookies (less, of course, if you cut them a little thicker).
  • These are really delicious cookies, well worth the time it takes to make them!
  • Hint: If you want to use red and green cherries do not mix the cherries in same batch, they look better if made separately!
  • Note: chill time of 3 hours is not included in prep time.
