Ingredients

1/2 cup dried cherries

3/4 cup port wine

pinch salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

3/4 cups flour

1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1/4 cup ground macadamia nuts

1/4 cup shortening

1/4 cup margarine

1/2 cup granulated white sugar

1/4 cup light brown sugar

1 tsp cornstarch

1 tbsp vanilla extract

1/3 cup white chocolate chips

1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup coarsely-chopped macadamia nuts

Directions

Place dried cherries in a bowl and cover with port wine. Let sit overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease or line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Drain the cherries, reserving 2 tbsp liquid, and pat dry before coarsely chopping.

Whisk together salt, baking soda, flours and ground nuts in a small bowl.

In a large bowl, cream together shortening, margarine, and sugars.

Whisk together cornstarch, reserved port and vanilla. Add to above.

Add flour mixture, half at a time, and mix until combined.

Fold in cherries, both chocolate chips, and macadamia nuts.

Refrigerate cookie dough 30 to 45 minutes.

Bake 12 to 14 minutes.

Cool 10 minutes on cookie sheets before removing to racks to cool completely. Store in a covered container.

I'm imagining these cookies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or soy ice cream on top. These look super yummy, and I appreciate the modifications you made to make them dairy/egg-free! Merci mille fois!
