Amaretto Chip Cookies image

These are similar to Recipe #161166 but I believe I have change it up enough to warrant a new post. These are a delicious change of pace from plain ol' chocolate chip cookies, and I love to make them as a treat for Christmas gift tins! Good luck staying out of the dough--it tastes even better than the finished product! ETA: I am editing the recipe following Katzen's review--this year I think I have gotten it right :).

Time 19m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup Smart Balance butter spread
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup amaretto liqueur
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup oatmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I like mini chips)
1/4 cup cherry-flavored dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • In a medium bowl cream butter and sugars until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, and amaretto then cream again.
  • In a separate bowl mix flours, salt, and baking soda. Add to wet mixture little by little.
  • Fold in chocolate chips and craisins. (At this point I highly recommend chilling the dough! Trust me, it is the key to yummy choco chip cookies!).
  • Drop by level tablespoons onto greased cookie sheets and bake 9 minutes or until golden brown.
