Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups Gold Medal™ white whole wheat flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter or margarine, cut into 8 pieces
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
1/2 cup whipping cream
Additional sugar, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F.
  • In large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in cherries, chocolate chips, egg, vanilla and whipping cream just until dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Place dough on lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead lightly 10 times. On ungreased cookie sheet, roll or pat dough into 8-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges with sharp knife that has been dipped in flour, but do not separate wedges. Sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet; carefully separate wedges. Serve warm.
