A good friend moved to Michigan for grad school and throw a going away party at the beginning of August! I decided to bake her cookies as a sweet sendoff! The recipe was for Chocolate-Cherry Heart Smart Cookies from In Good Taste.
They were super fast and easy and so delicious!
Ingredients:
1/3 cup all-purpose white flour
1/3 cup whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
6 tbsp unsalted butter
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup dried cherries
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
cooking spray
Directions:
- Lay out all ingredients and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine flours and next 3 ingredients (through salt) in a large bowl, stir with a whisk.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat; add brown sugar, stirring until smooth.
- Add sugar mixture to flour mixture; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended.
- Add cherries, vanilla, and egg; beat until combined.
- Fold in chocolate.
- Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray.
- Bake at 350 for 12 minutes.
- Cool on pans 3 minutes or until almost firm.
- Remove cookies from pans and cool.
The Final Product!
As mentioned in the title of this post, these cookies were great! The cherries added a little bit of tartness to a regular chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. And because they were so fast and easy to make I would definitely come back to these. I got about 26 cookies out of the recipe making it 2 pts/cookie.
