This is my version of a recipe I tasted years ago-my family loves it. The flaky cookies are filled with a scrumptious combination of dried cranberries, cinnamon, lemon and a hint of port wine. -Leslie Forte, Oakhill, Virginia

I'm allergic to cranberries, so I substituted dried cherries instead. They turned out great!

These cookies are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra butter next time.
