TART CHERRY COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Place cherries in an ungreased 9-in. pie plate. Sprinkle with sugar. In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over cherries. , Bake, uncovered, until top is bubbly, 30-40 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. 
• In a medium size bowl, add flour, baking soda, and salt.  Stir the dry ingredients together and set aside. 
• In a large mixing bowl add the butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and beat until creamy. Mix in the eggs.
• On a low speed (so the flour doesn’t come out of the bowl), gradually add the flour mixture in with the cookie dough mixture. Mix well. 
• To the mixing bowl, add white morsels, and dried cherries.  With a large sturdy spoon or spatula, stir together all ingredients.
• On an ungreased cookie sheet, drop the cookie dough by about 2 rounded teaspoons. Bake in the preheated oven. 
• For a chewy cookie, let them bake until the cookie looks like it’s not quite done in the middle (about 7 to 7-1/2 minutes depending on your oven and size of the cookie). 
• Remove from the oven and carefully transfer the cookies from the baking sheet with a spatula on to a wire rack and let cool a few minutes until the cookies are set. 
• As the cookie sits on the rack there should be just enough heat left for the middle to firm up but still be chewy.
