Equipment
- 1 11x17" jelly roll pan
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 electric mixer
- 1 wooden spoon
- 1 cherry pitter or sharp knife to pit cherries
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
- 1 spatula
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter softened (3 sticks)
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar firmly packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 4 1/2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 3 cups cherries diced (pat dry before adding to cookie mixture)
- 12 oz. pkg. white chocolate chips not vanilla or white baking chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Grease or spray a large 11x17” cookie sheet with cooking spray.
- In large bowl, combine butter, sugars, vanilla, eggs, salt and baking soda.
- Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy.
- Stir in flour, cherries and white chocolate chips with wooden spoon until combined.
- Spread and press down cookie dough into prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Notes
NOTE: After pitting and dicing the cherries, it’s helpful to pat them dry with a paper towel before adding to the cookie mixture. This avoids discoloration of dough.
NOTE: Preparation time will decrease if you use a cherry pitter.
