Description

Soft, chewy cookies packed with rich chocolate and tart dried cherries, perfect for quick sweet cravings or gifting.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dried cherries
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in the dried cherries and chocolate chips or chunks.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the baking sheet. Bake for 10โ€“12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are just set.
  8. Cool cookies on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Chop large dried cherries for even distribution.
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes.
  • Do not overbake; cookies should look slightly underdone when removed from oven.
  • Dough can be chilled up to 48 hours or frozen for 3 months.
