1 tsp real vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 pkg Hershey's special dark chocolate chips, 12 oz.

1 c dried cherries, Kirkland brand if you can get them, they are the juciest

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 F. In a large bowl, stir together well, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. (You can sift if you like to mix cocoa more easily, but stirring works.)

  • 3. Add eggs, beat well.
  • 4. Gradually add flour mixture, beating well.
  • 5. Stir in chocolate chips, nuts, and cherries.
  • 6. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • 7. Bake 10-12 minutes until tops are lightly set. (Time can vary depending on where you live.) Note: Underbake by a minute or two if you are shipping, and they will stay moist and chewy longer.
  • 8. Cool slightly. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
