Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and beat until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
-
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, dried cherries, and sliced almonds (if using), distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
-
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out 1 tablespoon portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
-
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze them for longer storage.
