Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon almond extract optional
- 2.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon fine salt

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla and almond extract (if using).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix on low just until combined; do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips and chopped dried cherries until evenly distributed.
- Scoop dough into 1.5-tablespoon mounds and place 2 inches apart on prepared sheets.
- Bake 9 to 11 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly soft.
- Cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For bakery-style thickness, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
