Yield makes about 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
Scant 1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups (packed) light brown sugar
2 large eggs
3 1/2 ounces fine-quality milk chocolate, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped
1 cup dried sour cherries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F, with racks in the upper and lower thirds.
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Beat together the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, then add the eggs 1 at a time, beating until combined well. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Add the chocolate chunks, pecans, and cherries and mix until just incorporated.
  • Drop 2 level tablespoons of dough per cookie about 2 inches apart onto 2 ungreased large baking sheets. With dampened fingers, flatten cookies slightly.
  • Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until puffed and set, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool.
