How To Make ~ cherry filled cookies ~ soft
-
Step 1Sift together flour, salt, baking powder. Set aside. Cream together shortening, butter, sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Beat in flour, then milk. Chill covered for 25 minutes. -
Step 2Roll out half dough to about 1/8 inch on well floured surface. If too sticky add a little more flour. Just make sure your surface is well floured...you can always dust extra off cookie. Cut with 3 inch cookie cutter. I made mine larger, therefore less cookies. Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheet or as I did on parchment paper. Add 1/2 - 1 tablespoon cherry filling. Roll out remaining dough and cut tops for filled cookies.
-
Step 3Crimp with fork tines around edges. Cut a slit on top to release steam or poke with tines of fork.
-
Step 4Bake at 375 degree F for 12 - 15 minutes or until starting to turn golden on edges. Cool on cooling rack. Store in container with lid.
