Cherry Chip Pecan Cookies
1 cup sugar 2 eggs
1 cup brown sugar 2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup Crisco shortening 1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon almond extract 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans 8 ounces Maraschino
Powdered sugar Cherries
Cream sugars, shortening, almond extract , and eggs. Sift flour, salt, and soda and stir into creamed mix.
Drain cherries and blot dry with paper towels. Chip fine and add to mix. Add pecans. Shape into 1 inch balls and roll in powdered sugar. Place on a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
Ural - have you ever substituted walnuts for the pecans?? We have so many walnuts in our house at the moment I thought I try them . . . thoughts?
Tammy, I would not use the walnuts as they have a lot stronger flavor and may overpower the cherry/almond flavor.

I found that I had to bake them a little longer. I chopped my pecans really fine so next time I will leave them bigger. The bakery in my little town in WI used to make a cherry pecan sliced cookie which I loved and have made but these are so much easier. I love maraschino cherries.

Hi Tammy, not sure if this helps at all...

indeed - I can read this - going to add this recipe to our list of things to try as well. Do you have a flavor of pie filling that you prefer?

I usually use strawberry, raspberry and apricot. The "reds" go over very well. This year I have a request for lemon, but i haven't found pie filling for that yet.

Could you use Lemon curd on them? You should be able to buy it already made.

Ural - the cookies were a hit. . . I had my son cutting up the pecans and the cherries, and running the mixer. It was nice to have him in the kitchen with me!! Thanks for sharing your recipe with us!

Wendy - we're trying yours next after another trip to the grocery store.
