• Divide dough into thirds; shape each into 10" (25 cm) long log.
• Wrap and chill until firm, at least 3 hours.
• Cut logs into 1/8th" or 3 mm thick rounds and place about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart, on parchment lined baking sheets.
• Bake in top and bottom thirds of 325 deg F oven, rotating and switching pans halfway through, just until edges begin to colour, 8-10 minutes.
• These cookies brown even faster than shortbreads, so keep a close eye on them! I start checking early, and they're usually done around the 8 minute mark.
• Let cool on pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack and let cool completely before storing. Store layered with waxed paper in airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to one month.
• Makes about 12 dozen cookies (less, of course, if you cut them a little thicker).
• These are really delicious cookies, well worth the time it takes to make them!
• Hint: If you want to use red and green cherries do not mix the cherries in same batch, they look better if made separately!
• Note: chill time of 3 hours is not included in prep time.
