I had the urge to make apple pie today which I had with fresh double cream... to hell with the calories. I wasn't satisfied with that so I baked a batch of chocolate chip cherry cookies...soooooooo goooooood. You can see the apple pie recipe here, because its so delicious i just keep on baking it. The cookie recipe was originally a chocolate chip cookie but i added some glacé cherries to make them a bit more chewy. Both recipes are real easy to follow and overall shouldn't take you too long to bake.... even less time to devour.

the sugar and butter thoroughly until evenly blended. Add the vanilla
extract to the beaten egg and then add a little at a time to the
butter and sugar mixture, beaten well between each addition.

teaspoons of the mixture on to the prepared baking trays, leaving
room for the cookies to spread
