Chocolate Cherry Delights
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 (3.5 ounce) package instant chocolate fudge pudding mix
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups dried cherries
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chunks (such as Nestle®)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if you prefer).
2
Prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
3
Combine the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer until they form a smooth, creamy mixture.
4
Gradually incorporate the eggs one at a time into the butter mixture, followed by adding the vanilla and almond extracts to create a harmonious blend.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt to create a well-combined dry ingredient mixture.
6
Gradually add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined. Repeat this process with the remaining 2/3 of the flour mixture, ensuring each addition is thoroughly incorporated.
7
Mix in the cherries, chocolate chips, and chocolate chunks into the dough to create a delightful combination of flavors and textures.
8
Scoop the cookie dough by spoonfuls, leaving approximately 2 inches of space between each drop to allow for even baking.
9
Bake the cookie dough in your preheated oven until it reaches a golden brown color and is set, taking 10 to 15 minutes.
