2008 Holiday Cookie Contest Recipe: White Chocolate, Cherry & Pecan Cookie
E.C., St. Louis, MO
I saw a recipe for white chocolate and cherry oatmeal cookies. Liking a regular chocolate chip cookie better than an oatmeal, I used that batter as the base. In a moment of inspiration, I added the toasted pecans. They turned out to be the best part!
ACTIVE TIME: 15 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 35 minutes
TO MAKE AHEAD: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Makes 2 dozen cookies.
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons white whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1/2 cup dried cherries, coarsely chopped
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl.
3. Beat butter, oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer in a large mix bowl until creamy. Add egg and beat well. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in chips, pecans and cherries. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.
4. Bake until golden brown, 9 to 11 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

They sound very good. Nice variation of a regular chocolate chip cookie: white whole wheat flour, white choc chips , toasted pecans and dried cherries. I would double the recipe- makes the measuring easier and makes twice as much for the effort. I always freeze mine and eat them as needed from the freezer. They really take like one minute to thaw and taste great!

They sound good. I try them during the Christmas holidays when I do plenty of baking.
