Chocolate Cherry Cookies Ingredients
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
8 tablespoons salted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
about 36 maraschino cherries, undrained
Chocolate Cherry Coating Ingredients
2 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons sugar
4 oz chocolate melting wafers, or chocolate chips
Chocolate Cherry Cookies Directions
In a large bowl, measure out 1 1/4 cups flour, ½ cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Give this a whisk to combine, and set it aside for later.
In a large bowl, add 8 tablespoons of softened butter, and use a hand or stand mixer to beat the butter for about a minute. Add 1 cup sugar and beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until it’s light and fluffy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times.
Add one egg, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a teaspoon of almond extract, and beat on medium speed for about a minute until well blended, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Begin adding the flour mixture, start with tipping in a half and mixing.
Okay, once it’s mixed in, scrape down the bowl and add the rest of the flour. Mix just until incorporated. Take about a tablespoon of the dough and roll it between your hands to form balls that are about an inch in size. Space them on a parchment lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Use your thumb to press a small indent into the top of each cookie, you could also use a round ½ teaspoon measure. Put a maraschino cherry, cut side down, in the indent of each cookie. Don’t drain the maraschino cherries from the jar, we’re going to use the juice to make the cherry chocolate coating. Once you’ve added all the cherries, chill the cookies for an hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the cookies into the 350 oven and bake for about 20 minutes, until the cookies are just set around the edges. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then on a wire rack.
While the cookies are cooling, combine 2 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons of the maraschino cherry juice, and two tablespoons of sugar in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, using a whisk to stir every so often. Bring the liquid to a simmer and once the sugar has dissolved, add about half of the chocolate wafers. If you don’t have chocolate wafers, you can also use chocolate chips. Stir to melt, add the rest of the chocolate, i’m using about ½ or 4 oz of chocolate. Once the chocolate has melted, remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
Spoon the melted cherry flavored chocolate over each cookie. Let the topping cool briefly, then add another layer of melted chocolate. I put these in the refrigerator to chill and harden the chocolate coating.
