Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup dried cherries, chopped
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until well combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips, dried cherries, and walnuts if using, until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set, but the centers are still soft. They will continue to cook once out of the oven.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy these delectable Black Forest Cookies warm from the oven, or store them in an airtight container for about a week. They make a perfect treat for cookie lovers and are sure to brighten anyone’s day!
