Recipe Description
A yummy cherry cookie with a creamy butter frosting.
Preparation Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together shortening, sugars and cherries. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat again. In a separate bowl, add and mix the flour, baking soda and baking powder together; add to the creamed mixture. Chill dough for at least an hour, then roll into 1-inch balls on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. When done, chopped pecans can be sprinkled on top of the frosting.
For the simple butter frosting, mix the frosting ingredients together. You can experiment with the amount of powdered sugar—less gives it a more buttery flavor, more gives it a more sugary flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Shortening
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 cup White Sugar
- 1 cup Chopped Maraschino Cherries
- 3 whole Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 4 cups Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ cups Chopped Pecans
- _____
- FOR THE FROSTING:
- 2 Tablespoons Butter, Softened
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 5 Tablespoons Cherry Juice, More Or Less Depending On Desired Consistency

I’ve seen cherry icebox cookies in a catalog and they were 26 dollars a dozen. I am so excited to make this and not spend a fortune doing so. Thanks for posting this.

Okay – made these cookies today. I thought they were great. I will add that they don’t spread much. So instead of the one inch balls, I decided to go a bit bigger and flatten with cup. They cooked for me faster than the 10-12 minutes recipe calls for. They seem to overcook a bit easy and get hard after cooling. So I started pulling them out as soon as I saw a hint of brown at the edges. Also, did I mention they were great? The icing didn’t seem like enough so I doubled it and regret that. I think what the recipe calls for would be perfect. I left off the nuts because my kids hate nuts on anything. It’s late, and that’s all I remember…. other than they were great. I hope I drove that point home.

This made 60 cookies using 1″ balls — and I had dough left over.
