Bake these soft, chewy cookies loaded with rich dark chocolate chunks and sweet cherries for a festive treat. This recipe delivers a deep chocolate flavor reminiscent of Black Forest style desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dried or frozen sweet cherries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the dark chocolate chunks, milk chocolate chips, and chopped cherries by hand.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers should still look slightly soft for a chewy texture.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra fudgy center, use high-quality Dutch-process cocoa powder.
  • If you use frozen cherries, do not thaw them; add them directly to the dough.
  • For a festive look, press a few extra chocolate chunks onto the tops of the dough balls before baking.
