Tis' the season for cookies....well, any season is for my husband. If you like cherries, I think you may like this cookie. It is my favorite cookie, I believe. I know dried cherries are expensive, but during the holidays, I do splurge on them.

Cherry Chocolate Cookies

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
¾ cups white chocolate chips
¾ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup pecans, chopped coarsely
1 cup of dried cherries (chopped into smaller pieces,if you like)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together the sugars and butter until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg; mix well. Mix in the dry ingredients and mix until incorporated. Stir in the chips, pecans and cherries. Drop by teaspoonful on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for about 11 minutes. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the cookie sheet for a minute before transferring them to a rack to cool completely. Store cookies in an air-tight container.
