Ingredients:

Serving

5 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp canola oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
6 oz good-quality dark-chocolate chunks (60-70% cocoa solids), such as scharffen berger
3/4 cup dried cherries
1 cup sliced almonds

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°.
In a large bowl, combine butter and sugars; beat with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add oil and eggs; beat until creamy. Stir in vanilla.
In a medium bowl, combine flours, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture to butter mixture; stir well. Gently fold in chocolate, cherries, and almonds.
Scoop batter by heaping tablespoons onto 2 baking sheets covered with parchment paper. Bake cookies in 2 batches in upper and lower third of oven until golden on top and bottom (12-15 minutes). Transfer cookies on parchment paper to a wire rack; cool (cookies will crisp as they cool). Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container (they will keep for up to 4 days).
