Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup dried cherries (or chopped maraschino cherries, well-drained)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Mix the Dough: Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips and dried cherries.
  5. Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set and centers are soft.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use dried cherries for a chewy texture or maraschino cherries for a sweeter, more vibrant flavor.
  • For an extra indulgent version, drizzle cooled cookies with melted white chocolate.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
