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.

Chewy Cherry Cookies image

These cookies are made from a yellow cake mix. Quick, easy and delicious.

Provided by Mary Lee

Categories     Cookies

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 box of yellow cake mix ( that doesn't call for margarine or butter)
1/3 cup cooking oil
2 large eggs
1/3 cup maraschino cherries cut in tiny pieces
1 tbs cherry juice

Steps:

  • 1. In mixing bowl add cake mix , oil, eggs, cherries and juice. Mix well. On greased cookie sheet drop full tablespoon of dough onto sheet ... leaving enough room so cookies don't run together. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for approx. 16-18 ... let cool on cookie sheet for approx 3 minutes ... transfer from cookie sheet onto waxed or parchment paper ... when cookies are completely cool , dust with powdered sugar. Makes approx. 2 dozen

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cherries. Fresh cherries are best, but frozen cherries work well too. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold 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. Bake them until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.

Conclusion:

These chewy cherry cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a holiday party. With their chewy texture, sweet cherry filling, and hint of almond flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
