Oh, *yum*! Now I have to go in search of dried cherries... not a bad situation to be in. Love those purple mixers... am just the teensiest bit jealous, even with my beloved cobalt one - but bringing one back on a plane is definitely either love or madness!
i love chocolate and sour cherry as a flavour combo - it's such a great way of sharpening the flavour of bitter cocoa.
i also love the gingerbread man napkin. oh so cute!
It is shameful the amount of shortbread our household goes through at Christmas, and that is only Mac!
They look great and I love the flavour combination!
Congratulations on the new kitchen aid! I can't wait to see what wonderful creations you come up with - am sure they will be as lovely as the shortbread cookies.
Shortbread makes me think of Christmas too. My Nan always made the best shortbread using her secret recipe.
I love the cherry and chocolate combination. It's one I will have to try as I love cherries.
Please forgive me for bypassing your amazing shortbread because zomg, I LOVE your gingy napkins! LOVE!
Uhmm yummy, I also baked some cakes they are perfect for Xmas!!!! lovely pics!!!
These look great! I love chocolate and cherry! Totally Christmas right there!
I make so much shortbread at Christmas, it is my favourite! I cant wait to try this variation! Yum!!
I love your festive idea for shortbread. Certainly makes a nice change from the buttery tinned stuff.
Ooooh very nice. I came across dried cherries the other day while spending an absolute fortune on dried fruits for my Christmas pudding, and wondered what they could be good in. You have answered my pondering very nicely.
Also, hooray for the new family member!!
Looks delicious! Would love to try some!
