Photo: White Chocolate Cherry Chunkies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 stick salted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts
- 1/2 cup candied cherries
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chunks or chips
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375. Grease 1 or more cookie sheets.
Using a mixer, cream the butter and both sugars in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until just combined. Set aside.
Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl. Add the milk to the butter mixture and then the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. (The batter should be stiff.)
Combine the nuts, cherries and white chocolate in another bowl. Add the mixture to the batter, stirring until just blended. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake 13 to 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Not bad. Just finished making them and it's good. Not that sweet. I doubled the recipe since I was giving them away as thank you gifts. I used chocolate chips, dried cherries and substituted the raisins for the mac nuts. My kids and husband like them.

My family will not let the holidays go by without making these and now my friends feel the same. I start making the the first of December and don't stop until Christmas!

I like this recipe, but I did change it a bit. The first time I made it, I used dried cranberries instead of cherries. I realized the batter was very thick and chunky, so I changed the nuts, cranberries and white chips to 1/2 cup each. It's a priceless cookie that I often include in my Christmas time cookies.
