Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cookies:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup cherry soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- For the Frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cherry soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the cherry soda, until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- For the frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar and cherry soda until smooth and fluffy.
- Once cookies are completely cool, frost them generously with the cherry soda frosting.
