Walnut Cherry Cheddar Cookies
1/2 cup butter softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
11/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
6 oz cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
¼ cup dried cherries chopped
1/2 cup white chocolate baking morsels
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl add first four ingredients and mix until smooth. In a separate mixing bowl add flour, baking soda and mix well. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until well incorporated should be stiff dough, next add cherries, cheddar cheese and walnuts. Use a small cookie scoop and place on lined cookie sheets you will get 26 to 30 cookies.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Place in a microwave safe glass bowl white chocolate baking morsels and vegetable oil microwave 30 seconds mix and if not all melted add to microwave and additional 10 seconds do this in increments not to burn the chocolate. Slightly cool and place in a small zip lock bag close and clip a corner of the bag to create a piping bag drizzle white chocolate on cookies. Place cookies in the freezer for 5 minutes to harden back the chocolate. Let the cookies sit at room temperature before eating.
