Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies

"Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies are thick and chewy, complete with a cherry in middle and a delicious fudge topping on top! I absolutely love the flavor combination of chocolate and cherries and this recipe is the perfect blend of these two. The cookies are thick and fudgy – almost like brownies. And the fudge topping on the top? It’s absolutely decadent – and you only need three basic ingredients to make it. I love that the frosting includes a little bit of almond extract which adds to the cherry flavor of the cookies."

Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • 3 cups cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 12 ounces jar maraschino cherries, drained and cut in half
  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

  2. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.

  3. Stir in the flour mixture and shape into 1-inch balls. Press a thumb-sized indentation into each ball and then place a cherry half into the center. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350. Cool.

  4. Fudge Topping:

  5. Over low heat, melt chocolate chips and mix in the sweetened condensed milk and almond extract. Once combined, continue stirring over low heat for about 3-4 minutes until mixture is thickened. Using a spoon, frost each cookie, covering the cherry. Enjoy!
