Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup dried cherries or maraschino cherries, chopped and drained
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the Wet Ingredients:
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine with Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the Mix-Ins:
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped cherries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape the Cookies:
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly underdone, but they will continue to set as they cool.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve:
- Enjoy these Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies warm or at room temperature. They are perfect for a sweet treat with a twist.
These cookies offer a wonderful combination of flavors, with the sweetness of the chocolate balanced by the tartness of the cherries. They’re great for sharing or enjoying as a special snack.
