These treats made with whole grain flour have a nutty, rich taste that people expect from a home baked cookie. This recipe has dried cherries for a twist but these cookies are just as good as a classic chocolate chip.
¾ cup (170g) butter or trans-fat free margarine, softened
¾ cup (165g) packed brown sugar
2 egg yolks
1 ½ cups (180g) whole wheat or whole spelt flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup (170g) bittersweet chocolate chips or chunks
½ cup (75g) dried cherries
