By ctozzi

Ingredients

• 1 c. butter, room temp.
• 1 c. sugar
• 1/2 c. brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp almond extract
• 2 1/4 c. flour
• 1 tsp soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 12 oz. white chocolate chips
• 1 c. dried cherries, rough chop

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350*

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time beating after each. Add vanilla and almond extract. Mix well.

Whisk together flour, soda and salt and slowly add to wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Stir in chips and cherries.

Scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto prepared pans, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake until golden but still soft in the center, about 10 to 13 minutes, depending on how chewy or crunchy you like your cookies. Cool on racks.
