Bon Bon Christmas Cookies
Ingredients:
1/2 (8 oz) package cream cheese
1/2 cup butter flavored shortening
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
2 (10 oz) jars maraschino cherries, drained
Preparation:
In a medium bowl, stir together the shortening
and cream cheese until well blended. Stir in the
flour, you may need to use your hands to help
it form a dough. If the mixture seems too dry,
add a couple of teaspoons of water. Cover and
chill several hours or overnight. Preheat the oven
to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). 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. Bake for 7 to 10
minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies should
brown slightly. Dust again with the confectioners'
sugar. Allow cookies to cool before serving, the
cherries are very hot!
