Cherry Chocolate Nut Cookies
Cherry Chocolate Nut Cookies are soft and chewy, loaded with chocolate chips, sweet maraschino cherries and pecans. Festive cookies for the holidays.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup 2% milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup chopped maraschino cherries
- ¾ cup pecans chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease or line with parchment paper a baking sheet.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and the baking soda and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and the sugars. Add the egg, milk and the vanilla. Beat until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet and mix until well blended, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, pecans and the cherries.
- Drop by tablespoons 2 inches apart onto the baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. After removing from the oven allow them to set on the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
Dry the cherries: Pat the chopped cherries dry with paper towels so they don’t tint the dough pink or make it wet.
Let them set: Leave the cookies on the pan for 2 minutes before moving them so they don’t break.
Don’t overbake: Take them out when the edges are golden so the centers stay soft.
Storage: Keep the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
