Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Wooden spoon
- cookie sheet
- medium cookie scoop
- parchment paper or silicone baking liner
- large skillet
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter 2 sticks
- 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups dried cherries
- 2 teaspoons flakey sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F
- In a large skillet, add the butter and melt over medium to begin making the browned butter.
- While stirring continuously, allow the butter to come to a boil and watch the butter closely as it begins to boil. After coming to a boil the butter will begin to develop a foam on top before it turns to an amber brown. Once the foam is gone and the butter has turned amber brown, approximately 3-4 minutes, remove from heat and transfer to a medium mixing bowl to stop the cooking and set aside to cool.
- Stir together the dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, and baking soda and add to the cooled butter. Stir 3-4 times with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, just to start incorporating.
- Add the eggs to the sugar/butter mixture and stir until mixture is homogeneous
- Combine the dried cherries and chocolate chips and stir to evenly mix
- Add the flour, and stir with the wooden spoon to combine. Once the flour is mostly combined add the cherries and chocolate chips stir until evenly combined. There will be enough dough for two full cookie sheets of 12.
- On a parchment paper or silicone lined cookie sheet, using a medium cookie scoop or rounded tablespoon portions of the cookie dough spaced approximately 2 inches apart. Repeat on a second cookie sheet if you're baking both batches at once.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.
- Allow to cool on the pan for 5 -10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely.
