    Hi guys, Where's the recipe for the cookies you made on the show with nuts, cherrys and a combination of white and dark chocolate? They looked yummy and I want to make them for a charity bake here at work. I couldn't find details on your website, so hope you can help me out. Many thanks, Jo Irving.
