White Chocolate Cherry Cookies
These delightful Christmas cookies are filled with white chocolate chips, candied cherries and pecans. They're festive enough for any holiday party, but also great for tailgating and Super Bowl parties!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar firmly packed
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 4 1/2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour bleached flour toughens baked goods
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 cup quartered Paradise candied cherries packed
- 12 oz. pkg. white chocolate chips
- 1 cup Finely chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Grease or spray large cookie sheets with cooking spray.
- In large bowl, combine butter, sugars, vanilla, eggs, salt and baking soda and mix with an electric mixer until fluffy.
- Stir in flour, candied cherries, white chocolate chips and pecans with wooden spoon until combined.
- Scoop dough with a one-quarter cup ice cream scoop and place cookies 2-3” apart on prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes at 350°, or until lightly browned.
- Rotate cookie sheets on racks every six minutes while baking.
Notes
NOTE: I pressed the dough into the ice cream scoop firmly before inverting dough onto cookie sheets so ingredients adhere better.
NOTE: You can also roll the cookie dough into balls.
NOTE: Running the ice cream scoop under cold water for a few seconds and keeping it moist will help the dough come out of the scoop easier.
NOTE: These were whopper-sized cookies. If you may smaller cookies they will take less time to bake.
