These cookies are so beautiful to look at, and so rich that one tiny mouthful is enough to satisfy. As they bake, the dough turns a gorgeous white that contrasts so beautifully with the cherry. They are my favorite cookies of the season.
Ingredients:
2 cups butter, softened
1 8 ounce package of cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 cup splenda
2 tsp. vanilla
2 egg yolks
5 cups flour
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
1 jar maraschino cherries
Cream butter, cheese, sugar, and splenda. Blend in egg yolks and vanilla. Add flour gradually, followed by nuts. Roll dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Cut each cherry in fourths. Press 1/4 cherry into the top of each cookie. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 12 minutes.
Enjoy!

Oh, these sound delicious! Christmas has past but, I can't see waiting until next Christmas to make these!!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes.
Like craftymug, I can't see waiting until next Christmas to try these. They'd be perfect for Valentine's Day. (And the 4th of July too!)
hello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just visiting here....
I only use sugar. Can I use the same amount as Splenda or do I reduce from 1 cup to 3/4 cup? Thanks.
I'll be making these but I think I'll use sugar. Same amount, right?
