Yield Makes about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup firmly packed dark-brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups dried sour cherries, firmly packed (9 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat until well combined. Add the flour mixture, and beat on low speed, until just combined. Do not overbeat. With a wooden spoon, fold in chocolate and cherries. (Dough can be frozen at this point, wrapped well in plastic, up to 1 month; thaw completely before baking.)
  • Form balls of dough, each about 1/4 cup; place balls on baking sheet about 3 inches apart. Bake until puffed and cracked, 9 to 11 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container, at room temperature, up to 3 days.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds instead. The cookies turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of sour cherries, so I used dried cranberries instead. They turned out great!

The cookies didn't turn out as chewy as I hoped. I think I overbaked them.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

The sour cherries add a nice tartness that balances out the sweetness of the chocolate. I also love the chewy texture of the cookies.
