1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped
Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another large bowl, mix the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped cherries.
Form Cookies: Using a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Cool and Dust: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar.
