Ingredients

2 1/4 all-purpose flour (Yes, Jett, you can substitute self-rising here; if you do, eliminate baking powder and salt!)

1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

pinch salt

1 stick Unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup light brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped (I pulse chop on my food processor.)

1/2 cup pistachios, chopped (Ditto above.)

For dipping:

3 ounces milk chocolate, melted

Directions

Preheat oven to 375.

Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.

In separate bowl, beat butter and sugar together until creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a time; add vanilla. Stir into flour mixture. Add cherries and nuts. Roll dough into large ball, then, divide into halves.

Roll dough into two 12” logs. This is easier if you flour your hands. Place onto large cookie sheet and flatten logs so that they’re about 2”-3” wide each.

Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on baking rack.

LOWER OVEN TEMP to 325.

Cut loaves into thick slices, about 3/4" each, about 16 per log. Place cut side down on cookie sheet. Bake for about ten minutes; remove from oven and turn over. Bake about ten more minutes. Cool on baking rack.

Dip one end into melted chocolate. Place on waxed paper until chocolate sets.

Caution! You won’t be able to eat just one!

Yumm! Enjoy!
