Description

These Chocolate Cherry Cookies are a decadent treat, combining rich, fudgy chocolate with bursts of tart dried cherries. Perfect for holiday cookie platters, gifting, or indulging alongside a cup of coffee.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (50g) cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (180g) dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup (120g) dried cherries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla:
    • Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  5. Mix in the Add-Ins:
    • Fold in the chocolate chips and dried cherries until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop and Shape:
    • Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake:
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers appear slightly soft. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
  8. Cool:
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra gooey cookies, press a few additional chocolate chips or cherries onto the tops of the cookies before baking.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Substitute dried cherries with cranberries for a slightly different flavor profile.
