Indulge in the rich flavors of chocolate, the sweetness of dried cherries, and the crunch of cashews in these delightful refrigerator cookies. Perfect for a touch of elegance and a moment of grace.
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup cocoa powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup chopped cashews. 1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped.
Instructions: Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Mix the flour, cocoa powder, and salt together in a different bowl. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture and mix them in until they are well mixed. Make sure the chopped cashews and dried cherries are spread out evenly in the dough before adding them. Split the dough in half, making two equal parts. Lay out each piece on a piece of plastic wrap and roll it into a log that is about 2 inches across. The logs should be tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and put in the fridge for at least two hours, or until they are firm. Start by heating the oven to 350F 175C. Cut the chilled logs of cookie dough into rounds that are about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the cookie slices out on baking sheets that have parchment paper on them. Put it in an oven that is already hot and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set. After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way down. The cookies are ready to eat once they have cooled down.
