These are yummy!

• 6 oz/170 gm butter
• 1/2 cup icing sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon almond essence
• 1  1/2 cups sifted flour
• 1/2 cup cornflour
• 3/4 cup chopped glace cherries
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Method:

Cream the butter and sugar and then add the two essences.  Combine the dry ingredients and add to the mixture. Add the cherries and walnuts and mix well and knead. Roll up pieces into small balls and place on an oven tray. Flatten each one using either a fork or the underneath of a (floured) tumbler. Bake at 325 F/160 C for about 20 minutes (if you are using a fan-forced oven  then you will need to lower the temperature by up to 10 degrees centigrade and/or adjust the time). Leave on a wire rack to cool and then store in an air-tight container.
