CHERRY CHRISTMAS SLICES

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup icing sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 cups red and green candied cherries, halved
1 cup pecan nut halves

In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar.
Add egg and vanilla; beat until fluffy.
Add flour; mix well. Stir in cherries and pecans. Chill for 1 hour.
Shape dough into three rolls; wrap in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag.
Freeze up to 2 months or until ready to bake.
To bake, cut frozen rolls into slices.
Place on ungreased baking sheets
Bake at 160°C for 10 – 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
Cool on wire racks.

Nota:
My gesin hou nie van neute nie so ek het net ekstra kersies in gesit (ongeveer ½ koppie)
