• Then add flour and salt; stir until blended.
• Stir in cherries and walnuts.
• Divide dough into thirds; shape each into 10" (25 cm) long log.
• Wrap and chill until firm, at least 3 hours.
• Cut logs into 1/8th" or 3 mm thick rounds and place about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart, on parchment lined baking sheets.
• Bake in top and bottom thirds of 325 deg F oven, rotating and switching pans halfway through, just until edges begin to colour, 8-10 minutes.
• These cookies brown even faster than shortbreads, so keep a close eye on them! I start checking early, and they're usually done around the 8 minute mark.
• Let cool on pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack and let cool completely before storing. Store layered with waxed paper in airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to one month.
• Makes about 12 dozen cookies (less, of course, if you cut them a little thicker).
• These are really delicious cookies, well worth the time it takes to make them!
• Hint: If you want to use red and green cherries do not mix the cherries in same batch, they look better if made separately!
• Note: chill time of 3 hours is not included in prep time.

MELLOW RAISIN OATMEAL WALNUT CHEW COOKIES - FROM MELLOW MUSHROOM

• In the bowl of food processor fitted with a steel blade (or in a mixer), combine both sugars, margarine, eggs and vanilla. Process until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds. In a small bowl, combine the soy flour and salt. Spoon the soy flour mixture on top of the batter. Pulse 3 or 4 times to mix.
• Scrape the batter into the walnut-oatmeal mixture. Add the raisins and coconut. Fold the ingredients together.
• Drop the dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared sheets, using 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the tops are just beginning to brown but the middles still look a little soft. Cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes and then transfer to a rack to cool.
