Christmas Angel CookiesRecipe Ingredients: 1/2 c Shortening 2 c Candied fruit, mixed 1 tb Vanilla 1/2 ts Salt 1/2 ts Baking soda 3 c Flour 2 Eggs 1/2 c Granulated sugar 1 c Light brown sugar,* 1/2 c Cream cheese, softened 2 c Broken pecans or almonds Recipe Instructions: * firmly packed The cream cheese gives these cookies a smooth texture, while the fruits sparkle and sweeten the flavor. Nice for using the candied fruits that didn't make it into the fruit cake. Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, cream shortening and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add sugars and eggs, mixing well. In a seperate bowl, sift flour, baking soda and salt together. Add flour mixture to egg and sugar mixture; add vanilla. Mix well. Add candied fruit and nuts. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto lightly oiled cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about 10-12 minutes. The cookies will be just browned at the edges. Hint: You may have to mix candied fruit and nuts in with your hands; a little shortening on your fingers will keep the mixture from sticking. Yield: 3 dozen.
