• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 3

Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

Step 4

Beat together sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, coffee granules, and vanilla until blended. Reduce speed to low and pour in flour mixture; beat until just combined. Stir in dried cherries, semisweet chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are just becoming firm, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
