Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup dried cherries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and dried cherries using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
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! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
