Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chocolate Cherry Delight Cookies.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). This is the perfect temperature for baking those delicious cookies!
Step 2
While the oven warms up, line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. This will help prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good stir to blend everything together.
Step 4
In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and white sugar together using an electric mixer on medium-high speed. Keep mixing until the mixture is light and fluffy, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect cookie texture!
Step 5
Next, add in the egg, instant coffee granules, and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat everything together until well blended. The coffee granules will enhance the chocolate flavor, so don’t skip this step!
Step 6
Now, it’s time to bring the dry ingredients into the mix. Lower the mixer speed to low and gradually pour in the flour mixture. Beat just until everything is combined; be careful not to overmix!
Step 7
Fold in the miniature semisweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and dried cherries. This is where the magic happens—each bite will be a delightful surprise!
Step 8
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, making sure to leave about two inches of space between each cookie. They will spread a little while baking, so give them room to grow!
Step 9
Pop the baking sheets into the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the cookies are just starting to firm up. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking!
Step 10
Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about two minutes. This will help them set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy the heavenly aroma wafting through your kitchen!
