A basic shortbread recipe requires nothing more than butter, flour, and sugar. This version is dressed up a bit with the addition of maraschino cherries and a dip in melted white chocolate.
Red wine and kirsch (a brandy made from cherries) are the base for this delicious seasonal drink, which is laced with citrus and warming spices like cinnamon, cardamom and black pepper.
These are the richest brownies I have ever eaten. They do not need any frosting; actually, it would just be gilding the lily. They are pretty good with walnuts though.
