Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/3 cups packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup dried cherries
- 3/4 cup raisins
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375°; line 2 sturdy cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
-
Sift the flour, cocoa, and baking soda into a bowl; set aside.
-
In a bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and scrape the bowl well.
-
Add the dry ingredients and mix just until no streaks remain.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips, dried cherries, and raisins by hand.
-
Drop the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls at least 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
-
Bake for 14 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through the baking time.
-
Remove the cookies from the oven while they still look a little underdone; they will crisp up when they set.
-
Let cool on the pans for a few minutes to firm up slightly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
