Cuisine: Western
Serves: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped cherries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped cherries using a spatula, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can make cookies tough instead of tender.
- Use fresh, high-quality cherries for the most vibrant flavor.
- Space cookies evenly on the baking sheet to allow proper spreading and even baking.
- Let cookies cool completely before storing to maintain their crisp edges and soft center.
- For extra indulgence, consider drizzling melted dark chocolate over cooled cookies.
- Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft and fresh.
