Description

These drop cookies can be mixed and baked in no time with pantry staples. They turn out chocolatey, chewy and perfect for a last minute sweet treat for gifting, or keeping. Adapted from Cooking Light


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup {5 tablespoons} butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 cup dried cherries
  • 3 tablespoons mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 2 a baking pans by lining with parchment paper or using a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Add egg and mix until well incorporated. Mix in vanilla extract.
  4. Slowly add dry ingredients to the butter mixture until just combined. Stir in dried cherries and mini chocolate chips.
  5. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon measure, place balls of dough about 2 inches apart on the baking pan. Bake for about 12 minutes, until just set. {They’ll seem undercooked when you take them out, but they’ll become more solid as they cool.}
  6. Remove pan from oven and allow cookies to cool a bit before moving them to a wire rack so they don’t fall apart.
