Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup mocha chips
  • ½ cup dried cherries (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
  3. Cream butter & sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and creamy, which helps create a tender cookie texture.
  4. Add egg & vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugar, mixing thoroughly until smooth and homogeneous.
  5. Combine wet & dry: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently but steadily until the dough is well blended without overmixing to maintain cookie softness.
  6. Fold in chocolate, mocha, and cherries: Carefully fold in the dark chocolate chips, mocha chips, and chopped dried cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough for every bite to carry a delicious combination.
  7. Scoop & shape: Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown and the centers appear set.
  9. Cool & eat: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire cooling rack. Allow them to cool for at least 10 minutes before enjoying their delightful chewy texture and rich flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened, not melted, for proper creaming.
  • For a stronger mocha flavor, you can substitute mocha chips for dark chocolate chips or add a teaspoon of instant coffee granules to the dough.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Chopped dried cherries add a tart contrast; if unavailable, dried cranberries can be used as a substitute.
  • These cookies can be slightly underbaked for a chewier center.
