Chocolate Cherry Bread
Ingredients:
2 3/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
2 Xlarge eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup cream or milk
3/4 cup sour cream
2 cups cherries
1 cup chocolate pieces
Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well. Add melted butter
to the dry mix until the mixture is crumby or powder dust. Add 2 cups of
maraschino cherries & 1 cup of your favorite chocolate pieces. Mix well into
the dry mixture. In a separate bowl, mix eggs, vanilla, cream & sour cream.
Mix until smooth & well blended. Add liquid egg mixture to the dry mixture
by folding together until just incorporated throughout. Place in a
well-greased large bread pan or 2 small bread pans. Top the mix with a few
of the cherries & sprinkle with sugar. Place in a hot oven: 400 degrees for
5 minutes. Turn oven down to 350 degrees and continue baking 35-45 minutes
or until the center springs back on touch.
Cool and top with your favorite drizzle
Serve sliced or in squares.

Chocolate Cherry Bread
This is a relatively slow rising bread with a slightly dense crumb.
2 C bread flour
1 1/2 C water
1/4 t active dry yeast
Mix the above sponge. Let it rise for 6 - 8 hours. If you're
in a hurry you can speed it up by using 1/2 t yeast, which will
shorten the rise time. You want to use the sponge when it's
bubbled up but not before it starts to fall back down on
itself.
2 C flour
2 1/2 t active dry yeast
5 T sugar
6 T dark unsweetened cocoa (darkest makes for best loaf color)
8 T butter, softened
2 t salt
4 oz sour dried cherries (approx 1 C)
6 - 8 oz chopped chocolate
Mix in the sponge and all the above ingredients except the cherriess
and chopped chocolate. Mix thoughly, about 5 minutes at medium speed.
Add the chopped chocolate and cherries and mix on low for 1 minute.
If you want you can do this by hand.
Let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
Form the loaves and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 45
minutes. Bake at 375 F to 190 F internal temperature, about 40-45
minutes depending on loaf size.
I like to spread it with some mascarpone cheese.

Subject: peach cookie recipes
I'm looking for a recipe for cookies that are shaped like peaches. They are
butter cookies sandwiched together with icing, dipped in vermouth to blush
then rolled in sugar. If you can help me ASAP I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.

Hello Maura,
See below.
Phaed
Peach Cookies
4 eggs
1/2 cp vegetable oil
yellow food color
1 1/2 tsp peach flavoring
1 cp sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3 1/2 cp flour
**filling**
1/2 pound powdered sugar
1/2 stick oleo or butter
1/4 cp shortening
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cp pineapple juice
1 egg white
**finishing**
1 pkg peach jello
red sugar
small silk cake decorator leaves
vermouth
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Batter: Mix all ingredients except for the flour together. Beat well.
Add flour. Shape into balls about 1" to 1-1/4". Place on ungreased cookie
sheet and bake until golden brown, about 3-10 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool
completely. Makes between 40-50 balls or 20-25 cookies
When completely cool with a very sharp paring knife carefully scoop out the
center of the cookies. I find it is a LOT easier to scoop out the cookies
when they are hard than when they are soft. I can get a lot thinner of a
shell (and therefore more filling inside) and also less breakage when the
cookies are hard rather than soft.
Filling: Beat sugar in with shortening and oleo or butter. Beat in
everything else. Make sure that there is a little filling clinging to the
edges of the cookies, as it dries it will "glue" the two halves together.
Slightly underfill each half of the cookie and press together. Try to match
similarly sized halves with each other. This will do a double batch of
cookies.
Finishing: Dip cookies in vermouth, drain on paper towels to the count of
10. Mix together the red sugar and the peach jello. Dip the damp cookie
in the jello/sugar mixture. Let dry for 3 hours. Snip the leaves apart
and place a leaf in each cookie.
-----------------------------------
Peach Cookies
Dough:
3 eggs
1/2 c. oil
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. milk
3 to 4 c. flour (enough to make soft dough)
2 tsp. baking powder
Coloring:
1/2 c. water
1/4 c. vermouth
1 tsp. red food coloring
Filling: 1 pkg. instant vanilla pudding mix
To make dough: Break eggs into mixing bowl; add oil, sugar and milk. Beat
well. Add about 3 cups of flour sifted with baking powder; beat to blend
well. Turn out onto floured board and knead in just enough remaining flour
to make a manageable dough.
A little at a time, roll out dough to long strips about 1-inch thick. Cut
into pieces about 1-inch long. It should make about 48. Roll these gently
between palms of hand to make ball shapes and place on greased and floured
cookie sheet.
Bake in a 325 degrees oven for 15 to 20 minutes until just delicately
browned. While still warm, scoop out each center on the flat side with a
spoon, taking care to leave a solid shell. (It takes a bit of practice.)
Then, one at a time dip each "ball" in the coloring mixture to tint them.
Place on rack to dry.
When dry, spoon the prepared filling (mixed as package directs) into hollow
center. When two halves are filled, press filled sides together. Filling
should help sides stick together. Last, roll each to coat well in granulated
sugar and to make them look realistic, put a small leaf on the filled spot.
-----------------------------
Peach Cookies
4 eggs
1 c. sugar
1 c. Crisco oil
4 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 c. sweet vermouth
1/4 tsp. red cake coloring (sugar)
Beat eggs slightly, add ingredients in order: eggs, sugar, oil, flour,
baking powder. Take about 1/2 teaspoon dough make a ball and bake 8 to 12
minutes until set. Bake at 350 degrees.
When cool make hole with paring knife in flat side of cookie. Fill hole with
nut filling. Put two cookies together and dip vermouth and sprinkle with
sugar. Put in small cake cups and make a green leaf with frosting (or buy
them at cake shop). Chill overnight.
Nut Filling: Take about 1 cup ground nuts, sugar, little melted butter and
milk to make paste.
------------------------------------------
Peach Cookies
4 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 c. vegetable oil
3 tsp. baking powder
4 eggs
4 c. peach filling
1 c. peach brandy
5 drops red food coloring sugar for coating peach decorator stems
Mix 1 cup sugar, eggs and oil. Combine flour and baking powder and add in to
make dough. Roll dough into balls the size of walnuts and place on greased
cookie sheets. Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Meanwhile, combine brandy and food coloring in a shallow dish and set aside.
Remove cookies from oven and while hot, scoop out dough from center of each
ball. Cover cookies with a dish towel to keep them warm while you do this.
Once they cool, you are lost.
Fill the hollowed-out balls with filling, two at a time and fit together,
making sure the edges are covered so the sides stick together. Dip each side
of the cookie into the brandy mixture and let sit several minutes. Roll in
granulated sugar and let sit to dry. Insert stem in top. Place in cupcake
paper.
Makes 4 dozen.

Hello,
Do you have the recipe for the sugar cookie and icing of the " Cookie
Bouquet" store? It is a national chain that makes cookie bouquets and
delivers them.
Thank you so much,
Michelle
Hello Michelle,
See below.
Phaed
Cookie Bouquet Cookies
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) softened butter (room temp)
3/4 C. sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla (or any favorite flavor. I like almond or orange)
2 C. flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
Cream butter and sugar until well mixed. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Slowly
add the dry ingredients until well blended. Chill for 1 hour. Roll out dough
between parchment paper or plastic wrap. Cut dough with cookie cutters. Turn
cookie over and lay an 8" cookie stick on the cookie so that the stick goes
at least 1/2 way up the cookie. This will help prevent the cookie from
breaking off. Take a small piece of dough and gently rub it into the cookie
to cover the cookie stick. If the cookies are cut thick, you can just press
the stick up through the cookie. Place cookies on a baking sheet without
overlapping sticks. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 8-10 minutes.
Cool for 2-3 minutes on cookie sheet, then remove from the baking sheet and
cool completely on a cooling rack before decorating them.
Cookie Glaze
3 C. powdered sugar
1/4 C warm water
1 T light corn syrup
1/4 tsp. flavoring
Add a couple of drops of white coloring so glaze with be opaque
Color with paste coloring
Dissolve syrup in the warm water. Mix in extract, sugar and white coloring
on low speed until you have a smooth glaze. Store glaze in a covered,
plastic container. DO NOT refrigerate--it will keep for 1 week. Before
glazing cookies, warm the glaze briefly in the microwave and stir
thoroughly. Either dip the cookies in glaze or use small squirt bottles to
decorate with.
