Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cherry season calls for a batch of these Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies. Similar to traditional chocolate chip cookies but with the addition of fresh cherries or maraschino cherries, this recipe is a tasty way to jazz up cookies.
Servings: 16 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cane sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/3 cup + 2 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup cherries pitted and chopped
Instructions
- If you haven't already, pit and chop the cherries; set aside. Preheat oven to 350° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, or spray with nonstick spray.
- Cream the butter, brown sugar and cane sugar together in a large bowl, then add the egg and vanilla and stir for 1 minute.
- In a separate bowl, stir the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. Then, pour the dry ingredients into the wet and stir with an electric mixer until combined, being careful not to over-mix. Last, stir in the chocolate chips and cherries by hand.
- Use an ice cream scooper or cookie scoop to scoop the dough out and onto the baking sheet, ensuring the balls of dough are spaced out to allow the cookies to spread. NOTE: you'll either have to bake the cookies in batches or on two baking sheets.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
