White Chocolate Cherry Cookies
"These are the best cookies that I have ever had, EVER" is what someone told me last time I brought these White Chocolate Cherry cookies to a party! Sweet white chocolate and tart dried cherries baked into a soft and chewy cookie, are simply dessert perfection.
Equipment
- large bowl
- mixer
- cookie sheet
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1.5 stick butter softened
- .5 c sugar
- .5 c brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 T vanilla
- 2 t baking powder
- 1/8 t salt
- 2 c flour
- 1 c white chocolate chips
- 1 c dried cherries
Instructions
- In a stand mixer (or large bowl and hand mixer), cream together 1.5 sticks softened butter, 1/2c sugar and 1/2 c brown sugar.
- Add one egg and one egg yolk. Add 1T vanilla and mix.
- Add in the baking powder and salt and mix
- Mix in 2c of flour a little bit at a time being sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl in between to make sure it all gets mixed in.
- Stir in 1 c white chocolate chips.
- Add 1 c dried cherries and give everything another good mix.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour. Its important not to skip this step as chilling the batter is what will give the cookies the soft, chewy consistency. You can chill the batter for longer, even over night.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, scoop small balls of the batter (approx 1 T) onto paper lined cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 mins. Let cookies cool on a cooling rack.
