Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 tbs salted butter room temperature
- 1 1/4 c granulated sugar
- 1/4 c light corn syrup
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 c unbleached all purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 c dried cherries
- 1/4 c slivered almonds
- 1 1/2 c chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper.
Cream the Butter and Sugar
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, and corn syrup until the mixture is fluffy and noticeably lighter in color. Beat in the egg and extracts until fully combined.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter mixture and mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
Add the Mix-Ins
- Stir in the almonds, chocolate, and dried cherries on low speed (or by hand) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop the Cookie Dough
- Using a spring-loaded ice cream scoop, portion the dough in mounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten each mound
Bake the Cookies
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, keeping an eye on them and erring slightly on the side of underdone for soft cookies.
Cool the Cookies
- Remove the cookies from the baking sheet using a spatula and place on the cooling rack. Allow to cool before serving.
