Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Cherry Cookies
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of Dutch-process cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of sea salt until well combined.
  2. In a large bowl, cream ½ cup of softened unsalted butter with ½ cup of light brown sugar and ¼ cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined.
  4. Scoop the dough into 32 equal portions and roll each into a ball, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake the chilled cookies for 9-11 minutes.
