Servings: 10 cookies
Ingredients
- 175 g unsalted butter
- 150 g light brown sugar
- 100 g white granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 250 g plain flour
- 35 g cocoa powder
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 200 g dark chocolate chips
- 150 g cherries (pitted and halved)
Instructions
- Add the unsalted butter and sugars to a bowl and beat until creamy.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract and beat again.
- Add in the plain flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt and beat until a cookie dough is formed.
- Add in the dark chocolate chips, and chopped up cherries and fold together
- Scoop the cookies onto two large lined trays, using tablespoons. I make 10 cookies all together.
- Place the cookie dough in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or in the fridge for an hour or so!
- Whilst the cookie dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 200ºc/180ºfan
- Take the cookies out of the freezer/fridge and bake the cookies in the oven for 11-12 minutes.
- Once baked, leave them to cool on the tray for at least 30 minutes, as they will continue to bake whilst cooling!
Notes
- I use this cookie scoop to portion my cookies
- I use fresh cherries for these, but dried cherries work really well if you're worried about the fresh ones or can't find them.
- These cookies last for 4-5+ days once baked
- These cookies freeze well for 3+ months, raw or baked. If baking from raw, add 1-2 minutes baking time
- You can make the cookies smaller (bake time is about 9 minutes)
- I use a rich cocoa powder and I love it
- This is the dark chocolate I use
