Chocolate chip cookies with cherries

Ingredients:

• 1 cup premium flour
• 0.5 cup cocoa powder
• 0.5 tsp fine salt
• 110 g unsalted butter
• 100 g unsweetened chocolate, chopped
• 100 g semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 2 tbsp. milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 1 package (300 g) of semi-sweet chocolate pieces
• 1 cup dried cherries

Preparation:

1. Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 325°F (160°C). Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Place the butter, unsweetened chocolate, and semisweet chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted, 3-4 minutes.
3. Stir granulated sugar and light brown sugar into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated, then add milk, vanilla extract, and eggs and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon or spatula until thick and glossy. Add the flour mixture and knead until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips and dried cherries.
4. Drop 1 heaping tablespoon of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Bake until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Let cool on the baking sheets on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
