Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup all-purpose flour -- plus 1 tablespoon
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter -- (1 stick), melted
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/2 cup dried cherries -- coarsely chopped
Preheat oven to 375F. Mist a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking
spray. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together butter and brown sugar. Add egg
and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Add flour mixture and stir until
just incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips, nuts and dried cherries.
Spoon some cookie dough into each muffin cup, so dough comes just to
tops of cups (cookies won't rise much).
Bake until cookies are golden around edges and just set in center, 10
to 12 minutes. Remove tin to a wire rack and let stand 5 minutes
before removing cookies to cool completely on rack.

Kitchen Tip
Switch the add-ins. Try other fruits, like raisins, currants or
chopped dried apricots, instead of the cherries in this versatile
recipe. Or toss in dried cranberries and either regular chocolate
chips or chopped white chocolate. You can also substitute pecans,
almonds or halnuts for the walnuts. Chopped macadamia nuts work well,
too, especially with white chocolate. Toffee bits and pecans make
another great combination.
