Comments:
One of my mothers favorite cookies to make.

Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks/8 oz.) butter or margarine, softened
1 (3 oz.) package of cream cheese
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plain)
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Cookie Toppings:
Pecan halves
Candied cherries

Instructions:
Cream butter and cream cheese slowly and add sugar; beat until fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and add flour and vanilla. Mix well. Chill dough for at least 1 hour.

Shape into 1-inch size balls, and place on a greased cookie sheet. Gently press candied cherry or pecan half into each cookie.

Bake at 325 degrees F (160 C) for 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool in pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Makes approximately 6 dozen cookies.

I tried this with strawberry jam instead of cherries. It was "good" according to my sister. They looked very pretty.

Easy and a great cookie to pack and give as gifts. I chopped pecens up and added to the dough.

I just made these with pineapple apricot jam and lemon extract, and they were very popular with the whole family...along with the "tropical flavor" they tasted like a heartier short bread.
