Bon Bon Christmas Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese

½ cup butter flavored shortening

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups sifted confectioners' sugar

2 (10 ounce) jars maraschino cherries

drained

Dessert

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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!
