Directions: |
Directions:Cream the butter and icing sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Sift the flour and salt over the butter mixture and stir until well blended. Stir in the halved candied cherries and walnut halves. Divide dough into 3 equal pieces and shape into logs (dust your hands lightly with flour if the dough is sticky) that are 10 inches in length (about an inch in diameter). Roll in colored sugar if desired. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 3 hours. Alternatively, the dough can be frozen and thawed in the fridge overnight before baking.
Preheat oven to 325ºF and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper. Cut rounds of cookie dough as thinly as possible, about ⅛ inch thick and place on the prepared baking tray 1 inch apart. Bake 8-10 minutes, just until the outside edge of the cookie begins to color. Remove the cookies from the tray and cool completely.
