Rainbow Cookies
finally found an old recipe I have used before and have to share for the holiday season, these are as colourful as fruit cake, but without the effort of the lengthy preperation, these deliciously tender cookies freeze well.

Rainbow Cookies
1 cup chopped assorted green and red glace’ cherries 250 ml
˝ cup cut mixed peel 125 ml
˝ cup sweetened medium desiccated coconut 125 ml
˝ cup raisins 125 ml
1 cup all purpose flour 250 ml
1 tsp baking powder 5 ml
˝ tsp salt 2 ml
˝ cup butter, softened 125 ml
˝ cup brown sugar 125 ml
1 egg 1
1 tsp vanilla 5 ml
1 tsp almond extract 5 ml

in a small bowl combine cherries, mixed peel, coconut and raisins.
In another small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
In a medium bowl, cream butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg, vanilla and almond extract.
Stir in dry ingredients until blended. Then stir in fruit and coconut mixture.
Drop by spoonfuls on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake one sheet at a time, on middle rack in preheated 220 degree for 20 minutes or until golden, Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Makes about 4 dozen.

Sorry peeps, but I made a mistake in the cooking time, you see I used to cook them at the temp suggested in the recipes, but have since change to cooking canna goodies at a much lower temp and have found that the medical effects are much better, I posted above that it was 220 for twenty minutes, that is what I usually do for a recipe that requires 8-10 minutes and figured this one was the same, well the original recipe calls for 12-15 minutes, but I found that it took 30-35 minutes at 220 sorry for posting before I actually did the recipe again, had done it before, but at much higher temp.

have been playing with this recipe for a bit and found if you use a little extra brown sugar and add some maple extract, 5 ml, also can throw in some chopped nuts, I used diced almonds and chopped up some walnuts, best cookie I ever made to date.
