How to Make Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips and chopped cherries until evenly mixed.
- Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers look slightly underbaked.
- Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack.
- Optional: Drizzle with melted chocolate for extra flavor.
Notes
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes for better flavor and to prevent spreading. Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain chewiness.
