Sometimes experimenting ends very well and these cookies are proof of that!

Credit to tasteofhome.comI make these every Christmas, they are a huge hit.

The combination of dried cherries, pistachios, and lemon zest create a divine medley of flavors. This is a very special cookie, indeed!.....I think you will agree. The Organized Chef/Garrison Wayne/ La Quinta, Ca.

Made these as a throw together alternative- my kids wanted a change from the normal ones. Worked well, they scarf them down!

NOTE: Cookies will be soft. They will puff during baking and flatten after cooling

So ive been making these since I was 11. To decorate them or give them an apperance I would either dust with power sugar as they are still warm or place a monacino cherry in the middle then bake. But they are simply soft and amazing just as is. I didnt do anything to thoa batch. Now my 11 year old daughter makes these all on her own.

Here is a tender shortbread cookie for the Holida. They are pretty to serve and delicious, with bits of cherry in every bite!

The kitchen is where I go to get in my happy place and lately I have been obsessed with baking. These were tonight's experiment.

Finding these dark chocolate cherry filled chips recently I wanted a cookie with them. They are delicious! Almonds are a good match with cherry and the chocolate covered ones are perfect! If you don't want nuts though you can leave them out!

This is a simple basic shortbread, rolled into balls to create a thumbprint cookie filled with Cherry PJam, then dressed up with white and dark Chocolate drizzles. The cookies are tender and so good with the chocolates and cherries!
