Cinnamon and Cherry Biscuit

2 cups + 2 tablespoons (300g) all purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
3 large eggs, lightly beaten with a fork
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2/3 cup (95g) dried cherries, chopped

Preheat the oven to 160°C/320°F. Line a large baking sheet with baking paper.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Stir in the sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until a dough forms. Incorporate the cherries. 
Shape the dough into a log, approximately 30cm (12in) long. Place onto prepared sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes or until lightly golden and firm to touch. Remove from the oven and cool on the sheet over a wire rack for 30 minutes. Line another baking sheet with baking paper.
Carefully slice the logs into 3mm-thick slices and place onto prepared sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crisp. Cool on the sheets.
