CHOCOLATE CHIP-CHERRY CHUNK COOKIES



Chocolate Chip-Cherry Chunk Cookies image

My grandmas and mom created this recipe with chocolate chips, cherries and spices, a combo of their favorite parts of different cookies. Then dad made ice cream to turn them into ice cream sandwiches. We'd eat these sandwiches in the summer heat, each bite cooling us as the ice cream melted down our arms. -Wade Rouse, Fennville, Michigan.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1 vanilla bean
1 cup (6 ounces) dried cherries
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup (3 ounces) white chocolate chips
1/2 cup (3 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup (2 1/2 ounces) chopped blanched hazelnuts or walnuts
Special Equipment
2 large baking sheets; 2 nonstick baking mats such as Silpats or parchment paper

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and a second rack in the lower third then preheat to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with nonstick baking mats or parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Using a small knife split the vanilla bean lengthwise then scrape the seeds from the pod into a small bowl and reserve both.
  • In a small bowl, combine the scraped vanilla bean pod (not the seeds), the dried cherries, and about 1 cup boiling water. Let stand 5 minutes then drain, reserving the cherries and discarding the vanilla bean pod.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, sugar, and brown sugar and beat on medium speed, scraping the bowl occasionally, until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and the vanilla bean seeds and beat on medium until combined, about 1 minute. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture in 3 batches, stirring until just combined. Add the cherries, white and semisweet chocolate chips, and the hazelnuts or walnuts and stir until just incorporated.
  • Drop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies. Bake, switching the cookies between the upper and lower racks about halfway through baking, until light golden brown and just set, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool the cookies on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Continue baking cookies on cooled baking sheets. DO AHEAD: The cookies can be baked ahead and stored, in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 3 days.

Categories     dessert

Time P1DT1h45m

Yield about 4 1/2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
2 scant cups cake flour
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 1/2 sticks (10 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups dried cherries (8 ounces), chopped
1 cup unsalted macadamia nuts, chopped
1 cup white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Pulse the oats in a food processor until some of it is fine and some of it is still very coarse. Dump the oats into a medium bowl and whisk in the flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, beat the butter and the sugars with a mixer at medium speed until very light, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well blended. Beat in the vanilla.
  • At low speed, add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Using a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon, fold in the cherries, nuts and white chocolate chips. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours.
  • Position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • Roll about 2 teaspoons of dough into balls and place them on the lined baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.
  • Bake until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and the centers are pale golden and still soft, about 9 minutes. Let cool on wire racks for about 10 minutes, then transfer the cookies with a spatula to the racks to cool completely (or for as long as you can wait!).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies. Try to find chocolate chips that are made with real cocoa butter and have a high percentage of cacao.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will give them time to set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These cherry chocolate chip cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft, chewy, and loaded with chocolate and cherry flavor. Be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your cookies turn out perfectly.
