Ingredients
2 Cups AP Flour
½ Cup Unsweetened Cocoa powder, we use Ghiradelli
1 Tsp Baking Soda
1 Tsp Salt
¾ Stick (6 Tablespoons) Unsalted Butter, Softened
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
2 Large Eggs
1 Cup Walnuts
1 Cup dried Cherries
¾ Cup White Chocolate Chips (Ghiradelli)
¾ Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (Ghiradelli)
Note- you can leave out/ change out the chocolate, nuts, and dried fruit for things your family likes! Cranberries, almonds, pecans, etc would all be yummy :)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350
Whisk flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl
Using an electric mixer (hand or stand) cream together the butter and sugar, until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating until fully incorporated.
Add flour mixture slowly, as well as chocolates and nuts. The dough will be stiff.
Form into one large log, going down the center of your baking sheet. Alternatively, you can make several smaller logs. Adjust baking time down to reflect smaller logs.
Bake (a large log) for approximately 40 minutes, or until cooked yet still slightly moist. Keep the oven on.
Cool Slightly
Cut the log into ½ slices, and arrange on a baking sheet.
Bake the slices for 10-15 minutes (erring on the side of 10) until crispy. Watch carefully to avoid burning the chocolate.
