Cherry Almond White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Mix all of the dry ingredients into a sifter/strainer over a small bowl (flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt) and sift into the bowl.

In a large bowl, add the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla extract and beat until creamy. Beat in the egg. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamy mixture using a wooden spoon. Add the white chocolate chips, dried cherries/Craisins, and almonds and mix well.

Spoon rounded tablespoon-sized balls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, 1 inch or so apart. Place in the oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until cookies start to brown around the edges. Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet. Then remove to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
