How to make christmas cookies:

Reserve 1 cup flour to roll fruit in. Cream sugar and shortening. Add eggs and 1 1/2 cups flour to mixture, then add vanilla. Put remaining cup of flour on chopped fruit and nuts, stirring gently. Add to rest of mixture. Make into 4 or more rolls. Chill. Slice and bake at 350° for about 15 minutes.

Note: I always try to use green pineapple and red cherries. They are pretty that way. I also make ahead and freeze the rolls and bake them as I need to for a party or company. It is easy to double the recipe.
