Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/3 cup sugar (I used Monk Fruit)
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 6 Tbls. chilled butter
- 1 egg white
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 cup chopped cherries
- 4 oz. chopped bittersweet chocolate
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or silpat mat.
- In a small bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
- In a food processor add the sugars and process until they are well mixed.
- While the processor is running add in the chilled butter a few pieces at a time, process until the sugar butter mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
- Add the egg white and vanilla and pulse a few times until blended.
- Add in the flour and pulse until the flour is fully incorporated – only takes 10 – 20 pulses.
- Scrape out the batter into a bowl and stir in the chopped cherries and chocolate chunks.
- Using a tablespoon size cookie scoop, drop onto prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart.
- The dough does not spread. Flatten the dough using the bottom of a glass.
- Bake for 14 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack.
