Three ribbons of flavor—cherry, chocolate and poppy seed—combine into one tender Neapolitan-style cookie. My mom made these when we were kids. They are so good. —Karlyne Moreau, Yakima, Washington
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons beaten egg, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder

- 2 tablespoons red candied cherries, chopped
- 1/2 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted
