Author: My Delicious Blog
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 18-20
- ½ c. granulated sugar
- ½ c. light brown sugar, packed
- 8 Tb. cold, unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- 1¼ c. all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 c. toasted almonds or pecans, minced
- ¾ c. dark chocolate morsels
- ¾ c. semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- ⅔ c. chopped, dried cherries (optional - if using, use only ¾ c. nuts)
- Adjust oven rack to the top third level.
- Heat oven to 300 degrees.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Toast nuts over low heat in a non-stick pan. When fragrant, transfer to a cutting board & mince.
- In a stand up mixer, beat sugars and butter until very smooth.
- Add egg, vanilla and baking soda and mix on low speed 1-2 minutes.
- Slowly add flour & salt and mix on low until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate and nuts and mix, by hand.
- Form dough into 2 tablespoon-sized balls and place on the parchment paper (8 per sheet works, about 4" apart, giving them room to spread).
- Bake about 18 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven, cool 1-2 minutes on the baking tray, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Repeat!
If you decide to omit the nuts, simply add more chocolate or other fill ins to balance out to about 1 cup (maybe coconut, raisins, other dried fruit).
