Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. In medium bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar and brown sugar at medium speed 1 minute or until smoothly blended. Beat in egg, lemon juice, vanilla and almond extract 1 minute or until blended. Mixture may look curdled. Reduce speed of mixer to low; beat in flour mixture just until blended. Stir in cashews, white baking chips and dried cherries by hand. Drop by tablespoons 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake, one sheet at a time, 12 to 14 minutes or until edges are light brown and centers are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute before removing to wire rack to cool completely. To make glaze, place chopped white chocolate, white baking chips are commonly referred to as white chips. For best flavor, look for a brand that contains cocoa butter. Do not use white chocolate chips for the glaze. Chips do not melt well or flow easily for drizzling. Cookies can be stored several days in air tight container at room temperature. Can be frozen for 3 months.

In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mint, bay leaf, cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt and white pepper. Place the chicken pieces in one or two non-reactive baking dishes so they are tightly packed in a single layer. Scatter the onion and grape leaves on top and pour the yogurt mixture over the chicken. Turn the chicken pieces to evenly coat them. Cover the dish with foil and bake until the liquid is bubbling and the chicken is almost tender, about 40 minutes. Remove the foil, stir gently and continue baking, uncovered, until the chicken is very tender and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle the lemon zest all over the chicken and serve right away. Serves 8 Preparation time: 1 hour / Total time: 2 hours COOK'S NOTE: To skin a chicken partially, use your fingers to pull away whatever skin comes off easily; leave the rest.

Beat in egg and vanilla. Refrigerate before using to fill pastries prior to baking them. This is the cheese filling I use for several different sweet breads and it tastes like cheesecake. Everyone loves it. Can be used to fill kolachkes, braids or even dropped in the center of chocolate cupcakes --yummy but loaded with calories. Prep Time: approx. 10 Minutes. Ready in: approx. 10 Minutes.
