Chocolate Cherry Cookies

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for this amazing recipe:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dried cherries

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to bake your own batch of Chocolate Cherry Cookies:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and dried cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Using a tablespoon, scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each scoop.
