Yield Makes about 34 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
9 ounces fine-quality bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate
3/4 cup quartered dried apricots (about 4 ounces)
1 cup dried tart cherries (about 5 ounces)
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans (about 4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and beat in flour mixture until just combined.
  • Chop chocolate into 1/2-inch pieces and stir into batter with apricots, cherries, and pecans. Working in batches, drop dough by heaping tablespoons about 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets and bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, about 12 minutes total, or until golden. Cool cookies on baking sheets on racks 5 minutes and transfer with a spatula to racks to cool. Cookies keep in airtight containers at room temperature 5 days.

These cookies didn't turn out as chewy as I expected. I think I overbaked them.

I found the dough to be a bit dry. I had to add an extra egg to get it to come together.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time I make them.

I wasn't sure about the combination of chocolate chunks, pecans, dried apricots, and tart cherries, but it really works. The flavors complement each other perfectly.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover dried fruit. I always have a bag of dried apricots and cherries in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.
