This co-winner in the filled-cookie category from Gerry Cofta of Milwaukee has a great, rich flavor in the filling.

Here's a filling that should work nicely with cranberries. You may want to adjust sugar--the filling is tart, but you might like it sweeter. This recipe is enough for a 10-inch tart, about 1-inch deep.

Mary Wilhelm of Sparta sent her signature cookie, which she said she has prepared for the Food Network, Warrens Cranfest and Taste of Home magazine. Two classic flavor pairings - brown sugar and cashews, and orange and cranberry - come together.
