Directions:
Variations:
Cherry Cookies:
1 12-16 oz jar Cherry Preserves. (I've found that either Polaner or
Kroger's brand seems to work much better than Smuckers) Drain
preserves thru a strainer, trying to drain off as much of the jelly
as possible, leaving cherry pieces.
1/4 C sugar, mixed with 2 T ground pecans or walnuts 1 egg white,
diluted with 1 tsp water. 1/2 batch cream cheese pastry.
roll pastry quite thin on floured baking sheet. cut in rounds with a
2" biscuit cutter. (save scraps, form into ball, chill & reroll) put
a dab of drained cherry preserves on each round. Fold into crescent,
seal edges TIGHT, brush top with eggwhite mixture, and dip tops in
sugar/nut mixture. place close together on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 325 degrees until just starting to brown, (15 mins?)they burn
easily. Remove immediately, cool on racks and pack airtight. These
freeze beautifully, but only last a few days at room temperature.
