Recipe - Amy's Cornmeal Cherry-Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is my friend Amy's awesome cornmeal cookie recipe...

 

Cornmeal Cookies

3/4 c dried cherries (sour cherries, if you can get them)

2T flour

3/4 c chocolate chips

3/4 c butter, at room temperature

3/4 c sugar

2 eggs, at room temperature

1/2 t vanilla extract

1 1/2 c flour

1 c cornmeal

2 t baking powder

3/4 t salt

Preheat oven to 325*

Toss dried fruit and 2 T flour together in small bowl and set aside.

In mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until smooth and creamy, at least one minute.  Add the eggs, one at a time; mixing well between additions.  Add vanilla.

In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients.  Add to butter mixture and mix 'til combined.  Stir in dried fruit and chocolate chips.

Using a 1.5 T cookie scoop, place cookie balls on a pan and flatten slightly.  Bake about 12 minutes or until the edges barely start to brown.
