Steps:
- Whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Combine brown sugar, white sugar, butter, and shortening in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in egg, vanilla extract, and molasses on low speed. Gradually add flour mixture and blend until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips, cherries, and pecans with a wooden spoon. Cover and place in the refrigerator until well chilled, at least 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Roll dough into scant 1/4-cup-sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on the edges and slightly underdone in the middles, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, so cookies can continue to cook, before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

CHOCOLATE COOKIES WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE AND CHERRIES
Brownielike and soft-centered, these fudgy cookies are packed with dried cherries, nuts and chocolate chips. Feel free to substitute your favorite nuts and dried fruit for pecans and cherries, or leave them out entirely and add more chocolate chips (no one ever objects to more chocolate). Be sure to use bittersweet chocolate, or the cookies may end up cloying. The higher the percentage of cocoa solids in your chocolate, the less sweet it will be.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease 2 or 3 baking sheets.
- In a heavy saucepan set over low heat, melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring constantly. (Make sure to scrape sides and bottom of pan to prevent scorching.) Once melted, remove from heat, stir well and set aside to cool slightly. (You can also melt the butter and chocolate together in the microwave on low heat.)
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat eggs and sugar until mixture is pale and very fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in vanilla extract. Scrape melted chocolate into egg foam and beat until just incorporated, scraping down sides of mixer bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in flour mixture until no traces of flour remain, scraping sides of mixer bowl with spatula.
- Using a spatula, fold in chips, cherries and nuts. Drop scant tablespoons of batter, 2 inches apart, onto prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with sea salt if you like. Bake until slightly risen and a thin crackling crust forms on the tops of cookies, 9 to 13 minutes, depending on size. Do not overbake; the cookies can dry out.
- Using a metal spatula, immediately transfer hot cookies to a wire rack. Let cool completely before serving.

CHOCOLATE CHIP-CHERRY CHUNK COOKIES
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.

- 4. Roll these portions lightly between your hands in about 1/4 cup portions, then place on each baking sheet, spaced evenly. You can make them small, but adjust your baking time a few minutes less. Wet your hands and lightly press the dough to a 1-inch thickness.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips: The quality of the chocolate chips you use will greatly impact the flavor of your cookies. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real cocoa butter and have a high percentage of cacao.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will result in tough, dry cookies. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies to spread less and hold their shape better.
- Use parchment paper: Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper will prevent the cookies from sticking and make them easier to remove.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when they come out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
Conclusion:
These chocolate chip cookies with cherries and pecans are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual gathering to a special holiday party. With their chewy texture, rich chocolate flavor, and sweet cherries and pecans, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
