Ingredients

24 servings

•

2 cups brown sugar
•

1 cup butter, softened
•

0.5 cup white sugar
•

2 eggs, beaten
•

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

•

4 cups all-purpose flour
•

1 tablespoon baking powder
•

0.25 teaspoon salt
•

1 cup chopped pecans
•

0.5 cup red or green candied cherries

Instructions

Beat brown sugar, butter, and white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Mix in 1/2 of the beaten eggs until completely blended. Beat in remaining beaten eggs and vanilla until combined.
Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; stir into creamed butter mixture until dough is just mixed. Fold in pecans and candied cherries. Shape dough into 1 1/2-inch rolls on a piece of waxed paper. Seal waxed paper on the ends with tape; refrigerate until chilled and firm, at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Slice cookie dough to about 1/4-inch thickness and arrange on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
