Candied Fruit Slices

Submitted by Teresa Ness

1 cup butter
1 cup powered sugar
1 egg
2 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp vanilla

Beat all together then by hand carefully add:
1 cup pecan halves (sometimes I use walnuts)
1 cup candied fruit (red and green cherry halves and pineapple hunks)

Divide in about 4
Put back in bowl and chill at least 1 hour

Cut 4 pieces of wax paper and shape dough into rounds, square, oblong, rectangle. Wrap in wax paper and chill again for as long as you want.

Slice between 1/4" and 1/2" (1/2" is too thick).

Place on cookie sheets and bake at 350º for about 14 min.

Freeze if you like.
Makes approximately 6 dozen.
