Ingredients
 
 

  • 1/2 cup butter browned
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp white sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks
  • 1/2 cup cherry slices

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C and line two baking trays with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Brown the butter: Melt the butter in a medium sized pan over medium heat. Once it melts, it will crackle, then become foamy – continue mixing the butter while this happens to prevent burning. The butter will go from melted to golden brown quickly, and you'll know it's almost done when the aroma of browned butter arrives. The whole process should take about 5 minutes! Once golden, remove from heat and transfer to a glass bowl. Let the butter cool for 30 minutes (Do not let it harden) while you prep on the rest of the recipe.

  • Once slightly cooled, whisk in the sugar and brown sugar for one minute until combined.

  • Slice the cherries in half. Remove seed. Slice cherries into small halves and quarters, view photo for reference.
  • Add cherries and dark chocolate chunks into dough and mix in a few times.

  • Scoop and bake 6 cookies at a time. Depending on the size, you will get 6-8 cookies total.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the edges are a nice golden brown colour. Remove from oven and allow to cool on pan before transferring to a cooling rack completely. Top with extra chocolate and cherry slices if desired.
  • Enjoy!
