Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Prep Time: 30 mins
- Cook Time: 15 mins
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: 16 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 12 tablespoons butter (3/4 cup)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla/bourbon/dark rum (if you run out of vanilla)
- 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chunks or chips
- 1 cup dried cherries
Instructions
- Whisk dry ingredients together and set aside.
- Melt butter in the microwave and let cool. For a more sophisticated cookie, melt butter in a small pot over medium heat. Melt it, then continue to cook it, stirring often, for about 5-8 minutes or until golden. You just made browned butter! Cool.
- Beat together sugars with cooled liquid butter. Add egg and yolk and vanilla.
- Mix in the dry ingredients until well combined. Stir in chocolate and cherries.
- Let dough sit for 10-30 minutes while your oven preheats to 325ºF.
- Line two sheets with parchment and use a 1/4 cup measure to portion batter. Space 2 inches apart. You will probably only fit 6 to a sheet.
- Bake 15 minutes.
- They will still be soft. Allow to cool completely on cookie sheets, and they will firm up. Store in airtight containers.
Notes
Try cherry flavored dried cranberries for a lower-cost alternative to expensive dried cherries!
