Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350º F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar using an electric mixer until combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing by hand until well combined.
  4. Fold in the chopped cherries and chocolate chips evenly into the dough.
  5. Use a cookie scoop to drop dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with silicone or parchment paper. Press additional cherries and chocolate chips on top for decoration.
