Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 g unsalted butter
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 100 g brown sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp almond extract
- 150 g all-purpose flour
- 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 100 g dark chocolate chunks or chips
- 75 g dried cherries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks and dried cherries using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Black Forest Cookies with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee!
