Happy Valentine's Day to everyone out there. :) This year, I decided to make some cookies for my neighbors, parents and dear friends. I'll be dropping them off on their door steps for an unexpected surprise when they get home.
I made the Chewy Chocolate Chunk-Cherry cookies that I found in this month's Martha Stewart
. They came out so very good!
Ingredients
Makes about 40 - 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups packed light-brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (2 1/2 cups)
- 8 ounces dried cherries (1 1/2 cups)
1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat butter and sugars until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla, then flour mixture. Beat in chocolate and cherries. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
2.Roll dough into 1 3/4-inch balls (about 3 tablespoons each), and arrange on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 3 inches apart. Bake until edges are golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on sheets set on wire racks for 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks; let cool completely.
I packed them into sweet bags from Hobby Lobby and tied them up with a ribbon and small tag and they're ready to go!
Happy Valentine's Day to you all!!! Now, go spread love! xo
