Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup dried cherries, chopped
- 0.75 cup white chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the dried cherries, white chocolate chips, and sliced almonds using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Cherry Chip Almond Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
