These Cherry Double Chocolate Cookies are a chocolate lover's dream, with a punch of tart dried cherries to keep things exciting. The "double" in "double chocolate" come from the addition of milk chocolate chips to a rich chocolate cookie base. That means every bite you take has little pockets of melty, sweet milk chocolate. It's like getting a bonus chocolate treat inside your chocolate cookie! But the real star of the show might be the dried cherries. They're scattered throughout the dough, adding pops of tartness and chewiness that contrast wonderfully with the rich, sweet chocolate. These little bits of fruit make every bite a surprise and keep the cookies from feeling too heavy. Overall, these Cherry Double Chocolate Cookies are a wonderful blend of rich, sweet, tart, and crunchy. They're the kind of cookies that you can't help but reach for another, and another, and maybe just one more...

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour*
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
1/2 cup packed Dixie Crystals Light Brown Sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar

*Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Beat butter, 1 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until well blended.
On low speed, gradually beat in flour mixture until well blended. Gently stir in chocolate chips and cherries. Do not overmix.
Drop dough by tablespoonful onto prepared cookie sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Flatten dough with the bottom of a glass dipped in the 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
Bake for 10 – 11 minutes or until center of cookies are set. Do not overbake. Move to wire rack to cool.

These cookies were very good. The only problem I had was trying to put the sugar on top of the cookie before I cooked them. I wet the glass at the bottom then put it in the sugar & then tried to apply it to the cookie. It just wouldn't attach to the cookie. So I just sprinkled some on the cookie after I flattened it out with my hand. They were very tasty. My children kept going back to eat more. Great for the holidays.
