Make these rich, fudgy chocolate cherry cookies without waiting for the dough to chill. This recipe combines deep chocolate flavor with sweet and tart cherries for a satisfying homemade dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dried or maraschino cherries, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and chopped cherries by hand.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You can press a few extra chocolate chips or white chocolate chips onto the tops if desired.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers will still look soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • If you use maraschino cherries, make sure you pat them very dry with paper towels before adding them to the dough to prevent excess moisture.
  • For a richer color and deeper flavor, substitute regular cocoa powder with Dutch-process cocoa powder.
  • These cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
