Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 280 grams All-purpose flour
- 40 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams Dark chocolate chips
- 120 grams Dried cherries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is fluffy and pale, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and dried cherries with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft. Be careful not to overbake as the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your homemade Cherry Chocolate Cookies!
