Maraschino Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies

Print Recipe

Soft and chewy cookies combining the sweetness of maraschino cherries with semi-sweet chocolate chips, topped with a sprinkle of flaked salt for a delicious twist on classic chocolate chip cookies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ sticks (12 tablespoons) salted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup maraschino cherries, patted dry and chopped
  • Flaked salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In an electric mixer bowl, beat butter and sugars until fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and egg yolk until combined, then beat in vanilla extract.
  5. Add dry ingredients and beat until just combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped maraschino cherries until distributed.
  7. Scoop dough into 1.5 to 2 tablespoon-sized balls, spacing about 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
  8. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until cookies are just set. Sprinkle with flaked salt.
  9. Cool completely before serving.

Notes

Pat the maraschino cherries dry thoroughly to avoid extra moisture in dough. Use flaked salt on top to elevate flavor contrast. Chill dough 30 minutes if you prefer thicker cookies.
