Maraschino Cherry Cookies

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together shortening, sugars and cherries. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat again. In a separate bowl, add and mix the flour, baking soda and baking powder together; add to the creamed mixture. Chill dough for at least an hour, then roll into 1-inch balls on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. When done, chopped pecans can be sprinkled on top of the frosting.

2. 2

   For the simple butter frosting, mix the frosting ingredients together. You can experiment with the amount of powdered sugar-less gives it a more buttery flavor, more gives it a more sugary flavor.
