DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHERRY COOKIES



DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHERRY COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake

Yield 2-3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 stick butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup red wine
10 ounces dark chocolate chips
1 cup dried tart cherries, some chopped
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda in a bowl. Beat butter and sugars until fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and wine and combine. Slowly add the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate and cherries and nuts if using. Place a tablespoon of dough for each cookie about 2 inches apart from each other on cookie sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes until edges look firm, swap cookie sheets halfway through.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Use parchment paper: Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper makes it easy to remove the cookies and prevents them from sticking.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until they are set: The cookies should be firm around the edges and slightly soft in the center when they are done. Avoid overbaking, as this can make the cookies dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them to set and prevents them from breaking.

Conclusion:

These double chocolate cherry cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With their chewy texture, rich chocolate flavor, and sweet cherries, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. Whether you are baking them for a special occasion or just as a snack, these cookies are sure to please.
