Chocolate Cherry Cookies
Chocolate Cherry Cookies combine Dutch processed cocoa in a tender cookie dough with chunks of chocolate and dried cherries for bursts of sweetness and tartness. The dough is creamed with unsalted butter and sugars, then mixed with eggs and vanilla before adding dry ingredients and mix-ins. Baked until set with a soft center, these cookies offer a rich chocolate flavor complemented by fruity cherry pieces and a chewy texture.
