Christmas Angel Cookies
1/2 cup Shortening
1/2 cup Cream cheese, softened
1 cup Light brown sugar,*
1/2 cup Granulated sugar
2 Eggs
3 cup Flour
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tbsp Vanilla
2 cup Candied fruit, mixed
2 cup Broken pecans or almonds


* firmly packed

The cream cheese gives these cookies a smooth texture, while the
fruits sparkle and sweeten the flavor. Nice for using the candied
fruits that didn't make it into the fruit cake.

Preheat oven to 350ø.

In a large bowl, cream shortening and cream cheese until smooth and
fluffy. Add sugars and eggs, mixing well. In a seperate bowl, sift
flour, baking soda and salt together.

Add flour mixture to egg and sugar mixture; add vanilla. Mix well.
Add candied fruit and nuts.

Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto lightly oiled cookie sheet and bake
at 350ø for about 10-12 minutes. The cookies will be just browned at
the edges.

Hint: You may have to mix candied fruit and nuts in with your hands; a
little shortening on your fingers will keep the mixture from sticking.

Yield: 3 dozen. Irene Holloway, Chevy Chase, MD
