Ingredients

1	pkg	yeast, active dry
1/4	cup	water	warm
3/4	cups	milk	warm
1/4	cup	sugar
1/4	cup	vegetable shortening
1	teaspoon	salt
1	each	egg	lightly beaten
3 3/4	cups	flour, all-purpose
1	cup	candied cherries	quartered
1	cup	powdered sugar
1	tablespoon	milk

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add warm milk, sugar, shortening, salt, egg and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in cherries. Add enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.

Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down; let rest for about 10 minutes. Divide dough into half. Roll each half into a 12x7-inch rectangle. Cut twelve 1-inch strips from each rectangle. Twist each strip and place 2-inches apart on greased baking sheets, shaping one end like a cane.

Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 375F for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely. Combine confectioner's sugar and milk; frost rolls.

Chocolate Chip Butter Cookies

These come out like shortbread and are fantastic. They are soft out of the oven and harden up as they cool. I cut the batch in fourth since it seemed like such a huge number of cookies, and my three year old daughter and I ate the entire tray in an afternoon! Make the whole batch! -LH 03-02-01
