Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup dried cherries, chopped
½ cup pistachios, roughly chopped
½ cup pecans, roughly chopped
1 cup chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. - Cream the Butter and Sugars:
In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. - Add Wet Ingredients:
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. - Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. - Combine:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. - Fold in Mix-ins:
Gently fold in the dried cherries, pistachios, pecans, and chocolate chips. - Shape the Cookies:
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. - Bake:
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. - Cool and Serve:
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tip:
For extra flavor, lightly toast the pistachios and pecans before adding them to the dough.
