    White Chocolate Cherry Cookies

    Chewy White Chocolate Cherry Cookies are tart and sweet and easy to make. They're sure to become a favorite!

    Take regular chocolate chip cookies to the next level by using white chocolate and adding sweet-tart dried cherries. They're so good, and I know you'll love them!

    This is a pretty standard cookie dough - you might not have white chocolate or dried cherries right on hand, but I promise these are worth a trip to the store!

    Ingredient List

    • butter
    • brown sugar
    • white sugar
    • eggs
    • almond extract
    • flour
    • white chocolate chips
    • dried cherries

    PRO TIP: under bake your cookies by just a bit - they'll continue to bake as they sit on the baking sheet, and you'll end up with a perfect cookie that's soft in the middle with crisp edges.

    White Chocolate Cherry Cookies

    Tips for the best cookies possible

    • This recipe has a large amount of dough, and therefore it’s easiest to make it in a stand mixer.  You could use a hand mixer, but it will be difficult.  If you decide to go that route, use a very large bowl
    • Fully mix your butter and sugar together - beating the butter and sugar together creates air pockets in the batter that add lift and give the cookies a lighter texture.  It is possible to overmix though, so start checking after a few minutes, and stop once the butter is pale yellow and fluffy.
    • Once the flour is added, mix only until just combined. Over-mixing the dough can cause the cookies to be tough.

    What's the best way to store leftover cookies?

    Store any leftovers in an air tight container at room temperature for up to three days.

    Do the cookies need brown sugar?

    Nope! You can use all white sugar, but they dough will be paler, and the cookies wont be quite as chewy.

    What if I don't like/don't have white chocolate?

    Cherries go well with any type of chocolate in my opinion, so use what you have, or what you like best! They'll still be absolutely delicious!

    Hi, I'm Sara! I’m a photographer, a recipe developer, and a blogger, but beneath it all, I’m just your average home cook.  I’m busy and I don’t always have time to spend hours in the kitchen.  I share quick, easy, and delicious meals that your family will love as much as mine does.  I taught myself to cook by trial and error.  Come along with me and I’ll help you get there too – hopefully with a little less “error” than I had!
