Although the recipe for my hearty chocolate-cherry novelties is sized right for a bake sale or cookie exchange, it can be cut in half for smaller gatherings. Ingredients:
1 cup butter-flavored shortening |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
2 eggs |
2 tablespoons milk |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
1-2/3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
2-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats |
6 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped or 1 cup white chocolate chips |
1-1/2 cups chopped red candied cherries |
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
3/4 cup slivered almonds |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream shortening and sugars. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in milk and extract. Combine flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
2. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: about 14 dozen.
