Recipe: Chocolate Cherry Almond Cookies
Summary: Like chocolate covered cherries in cookie form!
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks
- 1/2 cup slivered almond
- 1/2 small jar of maraschino cherries + juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In large bowl, beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
- Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir into the butter mixture until well blended.
- Mix in the chocolate chunks, cherries, and almonds.
- Drop in large 2 tablespoon-sized balls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Beware, this batter will be sticky to work with, but the cookies will come out great.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes in the preheated oven, or just until set.
- Cool slightly on the cookie sheets before transferring. Once cooled, these cookies should be firm at the outside edge, and filled with moist chocolate cherry goodness in the center.
