Using up all the lovely bits and pieces left over from the Christmas baking made up for the dark and gloomy day. The kitchen was warm,Pa was out,perfect conditions for a grey day bake in.
8 oz butter
10 oz sugar
10 oz plain flour
2 oz desiccated coconut
3 oz dries cherries chopped
1 egg yolk slightly beaten
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
pinch of salt
Beat the butter and sugar together until creamy them add the egg and vanilla essence and beat again.
Stir in the flour,salt cherries and coconut and mix to a dough.
Line three baking sheets with grease proof paper and place walnut sized balls of the dough on to the prepared trays and flatten with a fork dipped in hot water.
Bake at 190o for 12-15 minutes,remove from the oven and allow to cool on the tray for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
These cookies are equally good with chocolate chunks and hazelnut pieces, or my favourite white chocolate and pistachio.
Today the cats shared the kitchen for aver half an hour with only the occasional cuss word from Moth and Twiggy too behaved with more than usual graciousness. Whooooopi
