My gran used to make these soft, biscuit type cookies for us around Christmas and birthday times. They were “special occasion” biscuits, and thankfully they were, or we’d all look like cherry chocolate triangles from eating so many!
For the biscuits you will need:
180g soft butter or stork baking margarine
200ml (150g) light brown sugar
1 extra large egg
500ml Snowflake cake flour
125g chocolate chips or you can just break up chocolate until you have the correct amount
125ml glace cherries, chopped (I have to be honest and say that I love them whole or just chopped in half, not into smaller pieces)
Now let’s get cooking…
Cream the butter and the sugar together, then add the egg and beat until your mixture is light and fluffy. Sift your flour two or three times, and then add it along with your chocolate and cherries into the mixture. Press the mixture is a greased 16cm x 26cm lamington tin. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30 – 35 minutes. Cool in the pan before cutting into triangles. To finish off you can dust them very lightly with sifted icing sugar.
For a slightly different flavour and texture add 125ml of chopped pecan or walnuts.
Enjoy
