Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1/2 cup(s) cocoa powder
1 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1 teaspoon(s) salt
1 cup(s) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup(s) packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup(s) white sugar
1 tablespoon(s) vanilla extract
1 - egg + 1 yolk, room temperature
2 cup(s) dark chocolate chips
1 cup(s) dried cherries, lightly chopped

Steps:

Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well incorporated. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients in three batches until just blended. Fold in the chocolate chips and dried cherries.
Roll 2 tablespoons of dough into a ball that is slightly taller than wide and place on a plate or tray. Cover tightly and chill for at least 2 hours, overnight for best results (can refrigerate up to one week). Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line cookie sheets with silicone baking mats (or parchment paper); set aside.
Place cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-9 minutes (will look underbaked). Cool on baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
