Time 29m

Yield 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup dried sour cherries
1/3 cup cherry brandy
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup coarsely chopped white chocolate
1/2 cup coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Plump the dried cherries by soaking them in boiling water to cover for a couple of minutes.
  • Drain well and toss with cherry brandy.
  • Let the cherries sit in the brandy for a couple of hours, or even overnight for the best flavor, then drain before using.
  • Cream the butter with both sugars.
  • Blend in the egg, vanilla and almond extracts.
  • Fold in the salt, baking soda and flour.
  • Fold in the cherries, white and dark chocolate and, if using, the macadamia nuts.
  • Batter should be soft.
  • Drop in generous tablespoons onto the baking sheets, leaving space between dollops of batter.
  • Bake until lightly browned around the edges, 12-14 minutes.
  • Cool on racks.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies were a huge hit with my family! They're so soft and chewy, with the perfect amount of sweetness. The cherry and almond flavors go together perfectly, and the chocolate chips add a nice touch of richness. I'll definitely be making these
