1 cup dried sour cherries
1/3 cup Cherry-flavored brandy
1/2 cup unsalted butter; at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar; firmly packed
1 egg
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1-1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup coarsely chopped white chocolate
1/2 cup coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate
Preheat oven to 350* Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Plump the dried cherries by soaking them in boiling water to cover for a couple of minutes. Drain well and toss with cherry brandy. Let the cherries sit in the brandy for a couple of hours, or even overnight for the best flavor, then drain before using.
Cream the butter with both sugars. Blend in the egg, vanilla and almond
extracts. Fold in the salt, baking soda and flour. Fold in the cherries, and the white and dark chocolate. Batter should be soft.
Drop in generous tablespoons onto the baking sheets.
Bake until lightly browned around the edges, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool on
racks.
