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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the dark chocolate chips and dried cherries with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your homemade Cherry Chocolate Cookies!
