| Shortbread Sticks Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
2/3 cup butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped candied ginger
1/4 cup finely chopped sliced almonds
1/4 cup candied red cherries, finely chopped
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit
Combine flour and powdered sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs and starts to cling. Sift in ginger. Form into a ball; knead gently until smooth. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 14x6-inch rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick).
Combine almonds, cherries, and granulated sugar. Sprinkle evenly over dough; press in lightly. Using a knife, cut into twenty 6x1/2-inch strips. Place about 1/2 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake about 18 minutes of until bottoms just start to brown. Cool on cookie sheet 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; cool.
Makes about 20 sticks.
