WHITE CHOCOLATE CHERRY COOKIES

Provided by The Daring Gourmet, www.daringgourmet.com

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup butter (softened)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
1 cup dried cherries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease a cookie sheet.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugars. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars until fluffy and pale in color, 3-5 minutes. This step is important for ensuring soft, chewy cookies. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Using a wooden spoon, carefully stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture, just until combined. Stir in the white chocolate chips, dried cherries and macadamia nuts.
  • Drop heaping spoonfuls of the batter onto the greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until they just begin to turn golden around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • *Note: It isn't necessary for this recipe (I personally prefer the cherries to be chewy), but you can optionally place the dried cherries in a bowl and cover them with boiling water to soften them. Let them soak for 7-8 then thoroughly drain them. If you choose to soak them, use only 1/2-3/4 cup dried cherries as they will expand.

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

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups dried cherries (8 ounces), chopped
1 cup unsalted macadamia nuts, chopped

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!).
