Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies
Sweet and chewy Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies combine the tartness of dried cherries with rich, melty chocolate chips for a delightful treat. Perfectly soft with a pop of fruity goodness in every bite!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups dried cherries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Mix in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated, then add vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold in the dried cherries and chocolate chips. For best results, cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Scoop 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Or eat them warm because who can wait? Enjoy!
