Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup dried cherries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and dried cherries.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Chill dough for 30–60 minutes to reduce spreading and deepen flavor.
- Microwave individual cookies for 10–15 seconds to enjoy warm.
- Substitute dried cherries with other dried fruits like cranberries or apricots.
- Freeze cookie dough balls to bake fresh cookies on demand.
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
