A not-too-sweet, Christmas old-fashioned icebox cookie that goes great with a cup of hot coffee or a glass of cold milk. One of Santa's favorites! These are great to make at the beginning of December. Then, simply bake in the oven when something sweet is quickly needed at the last minute during the holidays. The dough can be kept in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks before baking.

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
½ cup white sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans
½ cup red or green candied cherries

Directions

Beat brown sugar, butter, and white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Mix in 1/2 of the beaten eggs until completely blended. Beat in remaining beaten eggs and vanilla until combined.
Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; stir into creamed butter mixture until dough is just mixed. Fold in pecans and candied cherries. Shape dough into 1 1/2-inch rolls on a piece of waxed paper. Seal waxed paper on the ends with tape; refrigerate until chilled and firm, at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Slice cookie dough to about 1/4-inch thickness and arrange on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
