- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped dried cherries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, enjoy these delicious Chocolate Cherry Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of chocolate chips or cherries to your preference.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help reduce spreading.
