Chocolate Cherry Cookies
Description
These Chocolate Cherry Cookies get their deep chocolate flavor from Dutch processed cocoa powder incorporated into an all-purpose flour base with baking soda and sea salt for balance. The batter is creamed with unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth, then combined with eggs and vanilla extract.
Chocolate chunks and dried cherries are gently folded into the dough before scooping onto a baking sheet spaced for even baking. Cookies bake at 350°F until just set, maintaining a soft, slightly chewy center. The dried cherries add a touch of tartness that highlights the rich cocoa, while the chocolate chunks enhance the chocolate intensity and texture.
These cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to four days or frozen for longer storage. Letting them cool slightly on the sheet before transferring avoids breakage and helps them set properly.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 3/4 cup Dutch processed cocoa
- 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 egg at room temperature, large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chunks
- 1 cup dried cherries

- Gradually add flour mixture and beat until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chunks and dried cherries. Scoop the dough into rounded tablespoons and place on prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake cookies for 10 minutes, or until cookies are set, but still soft in the center. Don’t overbake. Remove from oven and let sit on baking sheet for 3 minutes. Move to a cooling rack and cool completely.
