by Marye on February 14th, 2008

While I was checking through old recipes yesterday I found this and it sounded so absolutely awesome that I am posting it.  I think I am going to add some pecans to it, though.

Cherry Refrigerator Roll Cookies

1-cup shortening
1-cup sugar
1-8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
½-teaspoon salt
2-1/2-cups flour
½-cup chopped maraschino cherries
Orange marmalade
Maraschino cherry halves
Heat oven to 400 degrees.

Cream the shortening and cream cheese together. Gradually add sugar and beat well. Add flour and salt. And mix well. Add chopped cherries and mix. Shape sough into rolls 2” in diameter and wrap and chill. Cut 1/8” thick slices, as needed, and place on greased cookie sheet. Top with 1/8-teaspoon marmalade and 1 cherry half. Bake 5 to 8 minutes  This dough  will keep 1 week in the fridge or can be frozen.
