Sometimes, during the holidays especially, you need an easy cookie. Slice and bake cookies are an easy choice. You can even freeze the uncooked cookie dough logs.
While these cherry pecan shortbread rounds look festive for Christmas, almost like stained glass, they would also be nice for Valentine’s Day.
The wonderful thing about this cookie dough is it can stay in the refrigerator a day or two before you bake them. Just leave the log intact, don’t pre-slice them. I love being able to make parts of recipes in advance.
Shortbread cookies typically don’t spread a lot so you can put them closer together on the cookie sheet. I got 15 on my baking sheets. I was thinking of adding some of the juice from the maraschino cherry jar for color but the cookies got a lovely pink hue after adding the chopped cherries.
