Make these soft, fudgy chocolate cherry cookies packed with dark, milk, and white chocolate chunks and maraschino cherries. This recipe requires no dough chilling time.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
  4. In a separate medium 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, milk chocolate, white chocolate, and chopped maraschino cherries using a spatula.
  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 will still look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Make sure you drain the maraschino cherries thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent excess moisture from affecting the cookie dough texture.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use Dutch-process cocoa powder.
  • If you want a more intense cherry flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of cherry extract to the wet ingredients.
