Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams Candied cherries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and light, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a smooth cookie dough forms.
Chop the candied cherries into small pieces and gently fold them into the dough using a spatula.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cherry cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
