These cookies combine the delightful flavors of chocolate, coconut, and cherries, perfect for holiday celebrations.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents cookies from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Beat in the egg until fully incorporated.
Crack the egg into a separate bowl first to avoid shell pieces.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help avoid lumps.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Fold in the chocolate chips, coconut, and cherries.
Gently folding prevents breaking the cherries and ensures even distribution.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform-sized cookies.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on the sheet helps the cookies set and prevents breaking.
