I came across something amazing at the store the other day. Chocolate extract. Why amazing? Because I have been unable to find it for the past oh, 6 years or so. Honest. Short of ordering it online, it has been strangely elusive. Until now! I found Watkins brand chocolate extract at Walmart! I also bought the cherry extract, and it is a good thing too, because I used them both in these cookies.
Triple Chip Chocolate Cherry Cookies
1 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup shortening
2 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon chocolate extract
1 Tablespoon cherry extract
4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter and shortening, and beat on medium speed until blended. Add the brown sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla, chocolate, and cherry extracts.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Slowly add to the creamed mixture, with the mixer on low speed, beating until just combined. Turn off the mixer, and stir in the chocolate chips. Scoop the dough into balls using a cookie scoop, and drop onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the pan for a couple minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling. Makes about 48 cookies.
Enjoy! -Cardamommy
