How to Make Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon almond extract and 1/2 cup milk.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped maraschino cherries (reserve some for garnish).
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Gently press a few reserved cherries into the tops of the cookies during the last 2 minutes of baking.
  9. Remove cookies from oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
