Cherry Chocolate Chunk Shortbread Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter, softened to a cool room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ cup allpurpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 egg yolks
- ½ cup Bada Bing Cherries, stems removed and chopped
- ½ cup dark chocolate chunks, plus more for garnish if desired
- ¼ cup demerara sugar
Directions
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter that has been softened to a cool room temperature and sugar together until light and fluffy. The butter should be pliable, but not soft enough that you are able to stick your finger into it prior to beating.
- Add the flour and mix until it is well combined and begins to form together. Add the vanilla and egg yolks and continue to beat until the dough begins to pull off of the sides of the bowl. By hand, gently stir in the chopped Bada Bing Cherries and chocolate chunks until well distributed.
- Lay a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and empty the contents of the bowl onto it.
- Using your hands, begin to form the dough into a long, dense log, about 3” in diameter. Wrap the log tightly in the parchment paper and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°.
- Pour the demerara sugar onto a plate or baking sheet. Remove the cookie dough from the parchment paper and roll it in the sugar, pressing down firmly so the sugar attaches to the dough.
- Slice the dough into ¼” slices and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, until the cookies begin to set and brown slightly on the sides and bottoms.
- Allow to cool for 1-2 minutes on the pan and then move to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, melt additional chocolate chunks in the microwave until smooth and drizzle over cookies.
Spiced Orange Marmalade Chicken
Ingredients
- 6 bone in, skin on chicken thighs (about 2 1/4 pounds)
- 2 Tablespoons light olive oil

Add the chicken pieces skin side down and cook until the skin is golden brown and crispy, about 5-8 minutes. Turn chicken pieces over, making sure to not tear the skin, and cook another 5-8 minutes until golden brown. Remove chicken pieces form the pan and tent with foil. Drain the pan of excess fat.
- For the sauce - return pan to stovetop over medium heat. Add wine and deglaze pan loosening the bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the onions and simmer 5 minutes to reduce the wine. Add the Orange Cranberry Marmalade, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, butter and salt. Whisk until the sauce is uniformly blended. Season with pepper to taste. Add the chicken back to the pan and spoon the sauce over the pieces. Place skillet in the oven and bake 30-40 minutes until the juices run clear and the internal temperature of the meat is 165-175 degrees F. Spoon the sauce over the chicken pieces several times during the cooking process.
