Напрямки

Cream together the sugar and shortening.

Add the milk, vanilla, and eggs. Beat to combine.

In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well.

Gently stir in pecans, dates, and chopped cherries.

Use a 1-1/2 to 2 Tablespoon scoop to form dough balls. Roll the balls in crushed cornflakes on all sides and place on a lightly greased baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.

Cut remaining cherries in half or into quarters and place on the top.

Bake at 375F for 10-15 minutes. Allow to rest 2 minutes on the baking sheet and transfer to cooling wrack with a spatula to fully cool.

Нотатки

You can typically find green maraschino cherries around the holidays. We like to mix the two to make these cookies festive in appearance.

Feel free to substitute the pecans with any type of nuts you prefer. Not a fan of dates? Leave them out entirely or try raisins in their place.
