Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins Preparation Time: 25 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 40
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
• 2/3 cup dried tart cherry
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• cooking spray

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350°.
• 2 lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. combine flours and salt in a bowl; stir well with a whisk.
• 3 beat sugar and eggs with a mixer at high speed until thick and pale (about 4 minutes). add oil and extracts, beating until well-blended. add flour mixture, beating at low speed just until blended. stir in cherries and chocolate chips.
• 4 divide dough in half; turn out onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. shape each portion into a 10-inch-long roll, and flatten to 1-inch thickness. bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until lightly browned. remove rolls from the baking sheet; cool 10 minutes on a wire rack. reduce oven temperature to 325°.
• 5 cut each roll diagonally into 20 (1/2-inch) slices. place slices, cut sides down, on baking sheet. bake at 325° for 10 minutes. turn cookies over, and bake an additional 10 minutes (cookies will be slightly soft in center but will harden as they cool). remove from baking sheet; cool completely on wire rack.
