Lunch: Callahan Christmas Wreaths Recipe
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Green food coloring
Red and green candied cherries
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 °. In a large bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, orange peel and extract. Gradually beat in flour. Divide dough in half; tint one portion green with food coloring.
For each wreath, shape two 6-inch ropes using 2 teaspoons plain dough for one and 2 teaspoons green dough for the other. Place the two ropes side by side; press together lightly, then twist several times. Shape into a circle, pinching ends to seal. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough.
Cut candied cherries into small pieces and place on wreaths to decorate as desired, pressing lightly to adhere. Bake cookies 6-8 minutes or until set and bottoms are light brown.
Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container.
