Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal Cookies
A black forest twist on the classic oatmeal raisin. This recipe adds chocolate to the dough for choco-oatmeal cookies, and mixes in cherries instead of raisins.
Equipment
- Baking Sheets
- Parchment Paper
- Mixer
- Mixing Bowl
- Cookie Scoop
- Cooling Rack
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Flour
- 1¼ Cups Oats
- ½ Cup White Sugar
- ½ Cup Brown Sugar
- ⅓ Cup Chocolate Chunks
- ⅓ Cup Dried Cherries Coarsely Chopped
- 3 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 1 Tsp Baking Powder
- ½ Tsp Baking Soda
- ¼ Tsp Salt
- ½ Tsp Cinnamon
- ½ Cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 Egg
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In your mixer, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until well-combined and slightly fluffy.
- Beat the egg and vanilla into the butter and sugar mixture.
- Stir in the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Mix in the oats, chocolate chunks, and cherries, to make your cookie dough.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, divide the dough into tablespoon-sized balls, placed roughly two inches apart on your baking sheet. Keep in mind that they will spread out as they bake.
- Bake for about 9 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool for about five minutes. Then, move them to a cooling rack to continue cooling (and sneak one or two to eat immediately; they're delicious warm.)
