Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease several baking sheets. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, and baking soda in a bowl; set aside.
- Beat together the butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Gradually beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture, alternating each addition with about 2 tablespoons of milk until all the milk is incorporated and the dough is soft. Beat in the sherry, and mix in the nuts, raisins, dates, pineapple, and cherries until thoroughly mixed. Drop the dough by rounded teaspoons onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are set and the bottoms are very lightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

Steps:
- Position racks in the lower and upper third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats. (If you don't have 3 pans, simply cool the pan between batches.)
- Put the butter and the unsweetened and semisweet chocolates in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 75 percent power in the microwave until soft, about 2 minutes. Stir and heat again until melted, up to 2 minutes more. (Alternatively, put the chocolates and butter in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching the water, and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.)
- Stir the light brown and granulated sugars and vanilla into the chocolate mixture with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs and buttermilk and beat vigorously until thick and glossy.
- In another bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa, cinnamon and salt together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just mixed. Stir in chocolate chunks and dried cherries, if using.
- Drop the batter in heaping tablespoons onto baking sheets--a small ice cream scoop is ideal for this. Space the cookies about 2-inches apart. Bake until the cookies set but are soft and fudgy on the inside, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Serve.
- Store cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to a week.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until fluffy. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and salt. Mix the flour into the butter mixture, alternating with the sherry, making sure to finish with the flour. Stir in the ground pecans.
- Drop by the teaspoonful onto a cookie sheet and roll each portion between your palms to make smooth, even balls. Press each one into the cookie sheet and brush with beaten egg white. Using a fork, knife or another tool, press a design into the top of each cookie, or press a pecan half, right side up, into each ball or dough. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool a few minutes and remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cool and let cookies sit overnight to ripen. Serve or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

- Boxcar Cobbler (Westbound, Los Angeles) It’s fitting that this new vintage-forward bar would rejigger an elegant take on the classic mid-1800s Sherry Cobbler.
- American Hustle (Broken Shaker, Freehand, Chicago) In Scott LoBianco’s tall apple-laced cocktail, Bacardí 8 rum and Laird’s apple brandy are soothed by a nutty and rich amontillado sherry and house-made baked-apple tonic (this involves cooking dehydrated apples, cinnamon, cloves, cinchona bark and citric acid).
- I Was Born on a Pirate Ship (Randolfi’s, St. Louis) At this Neapolitan charmer, a who’s who lineup of fortified wines makes for a refreshing apéritif to sip before diving into a spread of the kitchen’s hearty pizzas.
- Indochine Bamboo (Midnight Rambler, Dallas) The original Bamboo cocktail—a simple combination of vermouth, sherry and bitters—was invented by a German bartender in Yokohama, Japan, to appease the palates of visiting Europeans.
- Red Dead Redemption (Sweetwater Social, New York City) Playing on the ’80s Frangelico-and-Chambord cocktail Nuts & Berries, Tim Cooper keeps the Frangelico but swaps Chambord out for St. George raspberry liqueur and freshly muddled raspberries.
- Bootytext (Boleo, Chicago) While still fresh off a trip to Peru, head bartender Jess Lambert created this tropical, South American riff on the Sherry Cobbler, fusing dry yet nutty Lustau oloroso sherry with an acidic guava-tea shrub, Cointreau and a hint of aromatic Giffard Banane du Brésil liqueur.
- Battledore and Shuttlecock (Canard, Houston) A perfect example of a low-proof, fair-weather sherry cocktail, this Badminton Cup–inspired sip by bar woman Leslie Ross bulks up strawberry-infused calvados with a full-bodied red burgundy wine and a touch of nuttiness from a Lustau amontillado sherry.
