Ingredients

Serves:

1/3 cup dried cherries or cranberries

3/4 cup unbleached flour

3/4 cup oat flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup sucanat

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cage-free organic large egg

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsley chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Soak cherries in enough hot water to cover until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain well.

Whisk together flours, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir in cherries.

Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and egg until combined well. Add flour mixture and the chocolate and stir until just combined. Chill dough 20 minutes for flavors to develop.

Sucanat (a contraction of "Sucre de canne naturel") was introduced by Pronatec in 1978 and is a brand name for a variety of whole cane sugar. Unlike refined and processed white cane sugar and brown cane sugar, but similar to panela and muscovado, Sucanat retains its molasses content. It is essentially pure dried sugar cane juice. The juice is extracted by mechanical processes, heated, and cooled, forming small brown grainy crystals

I'd like to know what sucanat is, too!! Merriam-Webster Dictionary does NOT recognize that word. In the mixing directions, the word sucanat is not used but the word SUGAR is...is sucanat SUGAR?? If it is, say so!!
