Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies With Apricots & Blueberries
2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, room temp
1/2 cup white sugar
2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 6 ounce package dried apricots
1 6 ounce package dried blueberries
1 cup good quality white chocolate chips
1 cup good quality bittersweet or dark chocolate chips (Ghirardelli makes a good 60% dark chocolate chip; not too sweet or too bitter)
1 cup boiling water
 Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Put the dried fruit into a small bowl and cover with the boiling water. Let sit for 30 minutes. Drain well. Lay the berries in a paper towel and gently blot dry. Blot dry the apricots and chop into small bite sized pieces. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugars, and extracts. Beat well, until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Stir to mix, then add to the butter mixture all at once. Beat at low speed until fully combined. Alternately, you can use a heavy wooden spoon to mix.
Add in the white and dark chips; stir well. Add the apricots; stir well. Last, gently add the blueberries, being careful to not break them up more than can be avoided.
Roll golf ball sized pieces of dough in your palms to get them rounded, then lay about 3 inches apart on large ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 375 degrees for about 14 minutes or until the top is light golden brown and the cookies look just set in the middle. They will firm up as they cool. If you prefer a crisper cookie, let cook for maybe an extra 2 minutes, until the top is golden brown and looks dry.
Let sit on the pans for two minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.
I got 27 good sized cookies from this. You could make them smaller but make sure to adjust your cooking time.
