C!C!C! (Cherry Cashew Chocolate) Shortbread

The C!C!C! cookies are on the right. The wheat free cookie recipe (left) will be posted later this week.

In honour of the community choir that my niece belongs to, her mother Sylvia designed a decadent cookie. They're definitely something to sing about. Here's the link to information about Choir, Choir, Choir and its offspring C!C!C! http://www.blogto.com/music/2011/10/choir_choir_choir_wants_to_teach_toronto_to_sing/

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups salted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 3 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 225 g. container of glace cherries halved
  • 350 g. ( about 2 cups) of good quality chocolate chips
  • 2 cups of cashews, lightly toasted, then roughly chopped

Mix butter and sugars, stir in flour. Stir in cherries, cashews and chocolate. Refrigerate an hour.

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.

Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it into small balls, then flatten the balls with a fork. Bake for about 8 minutes until the cookies are golden on their bottoms. Let them cool slightly on the pan before transferring to a wire rack. Tra-La.
