Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams white chocolate chips
- 100 grams dried cherries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and pure vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms.
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cherries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear slightly underbaked. Do not overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
