Christmas Angel Cookies

Here the recipe of the cookies I baked for Christmas in July!!!
Easy to make and very tasteful.
I found it in Recipe Source and came from Irene Holloway.

Christmas Angel Cookies

½ C Shortening
½ C Cream cheese, softened
1 C Light brown sugar ( firmly packed )
½ C Granulated sugar
2 Eggs
3 C Flour
½ ts Baking soda
½ ts Salt
1 Tb Vanilla
2 C Candied fruit, mixed
2 C Broken pecans or almonds

Preheat oven to 350 ° F

Sift flour, baking soda and salt together. Set aside

Mix shortening and cream cheese until they are smooth and fluffy.
Add sugars , eggs and vanilla, mix well.

Add flour mixture, mix well

Add candied fruits and nuts, use your hands.
A little shortening on your hands will keep the dough from sticking.

Drop by rounded spoonfuls or cookie scoop on prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes (I did 15 minutes) just browned at the edges!

Have fun
