My Grandmother called this morning and asked me to email her this recipe...... She said it is perfect for Valentines Day and I think she is right!! It is fun having a grandma plugged in to technology... she is one hip 85 year old even has a facebook page!! I just wish I was in Texas to enjoy these cookies with her!Happy Valentine's weekend and enjoy the cookie recipe!
Cheery Cherry Cookies
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup butter
1 egg
2 TBL milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp backing soda
1/2 cup maraschino cherries, drained and chopped
1/2 cup pecans

four dozen!!
yikes do you think this recipe is one that still turns out if you half it??
Erin.... Another way is to freeze half the dough or bake them all and freeze half the cookies! Efficient Cooking!!!!!! I have never made these cookies... my grandma just knew I had the recipe. I am allergic to red food coloring so these aren't an option for me... bummer because they sound good and my grandma loves them!
thanks heather. i was thinking after the fact that i could bring the excess with me for our bible study as a snack but initially i was a little overwhelmed by how many it made.
i'm also new to freezing anything but bread, meats and fruit. i need to shift my thinking in this area.
Erin.. you will LOVE freezing all sorts of things!!! It is so nice to have treats in the freezer!!!! I hope you liked the cookies and had a great Valentine's Day!!
