Tool Requirements

To make cherry chocolate chip cookies, you will need some basic tools in your kitchen. Here’s what you should gather:

You need mixing bowls. A medium bowl works for combining dry ingredients. Use a large one for wet ingredients.

A measuring cup is essential. Make sure you have both standard and liquid measuring cups.

A set of measuring spoons helps with small amounts. This is important for spices and baking soda.

A whisk or fork will blend your ingredients smoothly. You can also use a spatula for folding in the chocolate chips and cherries.

Having a baking sheet is important. Make sure to line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

An oven is required for baking your cookies. Preheat it to the correct temperature before you start.

Lastly, a cooling rack is useful. It lets your cookies cool evenly after baking.

Make sure you have everything ready before you start baking. Happy baking!

Preparing The Ingredients

Start by gathering all your ingredients. You’ll need flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, salt, melted coconut oil, non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, chocolate chips, and cherries.

Measure out 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup of sugar. Mix them together in a medium bowl. This dry mix will form the base of your cookies.

Next, in another bowl, combine 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Add them to your dry mix. This step helps the cookies rise and taste just right.

In a separate bowl, mix 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup of non-dairy milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir these wet ingredients together until they’re well combined.

Chop your cherries if they aren’t already diced. You’ll want about 1/2 cup of cherries. Then, measure out 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.

Now you’re ready to combine everything! Add the wet ingredients to the dry mix and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the cherries and chocolate chips.

Make sure you have everything prepared before you start baking. This helps things run smoothly and makes for tasty cookies.

Variations To Try

You can mix things up with your cherry chocolate chip cookies. Here are some fun ideas.

• Try adding nuts like walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture. You can also use dark chocolate chips instead of regular ones for a richer taste.
• If you want a twist, add a sprinkle of coconut flakes. This gives the cookies a tropical flavor that works well with cherries.
• Another idea is to use different kinds of dried fruit. Dried cranberries or raisins can change the taste and add extra sweetness.
• For those who love spice, consider adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or vanilla extract. These flavors can enhance the sweetness of the cookies.
• Want a more festive look? Drizzle some melted chocolate on top before serving. It adds visual appeal and extra chocolatey goodness.
• You can also play around with the base. Try replacing some flour with oat flour for a heartier texture. This makes the cookies gluten-free and adds a nice bite.

Feel free to experiment and find your favorite version!

Storage Tips

• To keep your cherry chocolate chip cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container. This helps maintain their softness and flavor.
• If you want to store them for a longer time, you can freeze them. Just make sure to wrap each cookie in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can last up to three months in the freezer.
• When you’re ready to enjoy a frozen cookie, let it thaw at room temperature for a few minutes. You can also heat it in the microwave for about 10 seconds for a warm treat.
• If you’re not eating them right away, keep them at room temperature. They should stay good for about a week. Just keep them away from direct sunlight or heat to avoid drying them out.
• For added freshness, you might want to throw in a slice of bread with the cookies. The bread helps keep moisture in the container.
