We have had two major computer crashes in the last month and I can't think of a better way to combat the frustration than to bake cookies! So, if there is any leftover candied fruit in your pantry from the holidays, why not give these cookies a try? They are easy and delicious. I've not tried any other kind of fruit, but I would think that chopped dried apricots or craisens would work as well.
The picture above also shows frosted sugar cookies for which I will post the recipe at a later time.
Recipe:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 egg
2-1/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup chopped candied fruit
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Beat powdered sugar, butter and egg in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in flour and cream of tartar until well blended. Add fruit and nuts.
Divide dough into halves. Shape each half into a roll 1-1/2 inches in diameter and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 4 hours or more.
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut rolls into 1/8-inch slices. Place slices 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake until set, about 8 minutes. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to wire racks to cool.
Yield: about 6 dozen cookies.
