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.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I had to omit the pecans from the recipe. The cookies were still delicious.

These cookies are way too complicated to make. I'm not going to bother making them again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies didn't turn out. They were flat and hard.

These cookies are a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll chill the dough for longer next time.

The cookies were a bit dry. I think I'll add a little bit of milk to the dough next time.

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

I'm not a huge fan of dried fruit, but I really liked these cookies. The tart cherries and apricots add a nice touch of sweetness and tartness.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover dried fruit. I always have a bag of dried apricots and tart cherries in my pantry, so it's easy to whip up a batch of these cookies when I'm craving something sweet.
