CHEWY CHERRY CHUNK COOKIES



Chewy Cherry Chunk Cookies image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes 10 large or 36 small cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup dried cherries
1 cup boiling water
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup coarsely chopped white chocolate
1/2 cup coarsely chopped milk chocolate
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with one rack in top third and one rack in bottom third of oven. Line baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Place dried cherries in a small bowl, and cover with 1 cup boiling water to plump them; let stand 5 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter and both sugars. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add egg and vanilla extract, and beat to combine. Beat in flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix in cherries, white and milk chocolate, and pecans. Batter should be stiff.
  • Use a large (2 1/2 ounce) or small (1 1/4 ounce) ice-cream scoop to form balls of dough. Place the balls of dough about 4 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake until golden and just set, rotating the sheets between the oven racks halfway through baking to ensure even browning, about 15 minutes for large cookies and 12 minutes for small cookies. Transfer sheets to a wire rack to cool for about 5 minutes before transferring cookies to rack.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: This will help keep the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the cookies from becoming curdled.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients gradually: This will help prevent the cookies from becoming tough.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips or other mix-ins: Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at the recommended temperature and time: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help prevent them from becoming soft and chewy.

Conclusion:

Cherry dot cookies are a classic treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized with different flavors and mix-ins. With a little planning and effort, you can create delicious cherry dot cookies that will be the hit of your next party or gathering.
