Description
These cherry chocolate chip cookies are chewy, rich, and packed with sweet-tart dried cherries and melty chocolate chips. A perfect twist on the classic cookie.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup dried cherries, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients.
Fold in dried cherries and chocolate chips.
Drop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden.
Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.
Notes
Substitute dried cherries with dried cranberries or add chopped walnuts.
White chocolate chips work for a sweeter variation.
Store with a slice of bread to maintain chewiness.
