These cookies were new in my holiday repertoire this year, and everyone loved them. Very rich and chocolatey. Perhaps a bit too rich to just eat as a cookie, although nothing wrong with rich and absolutely delicious. Instead, I served them for dessert with ice cream and that proved very popular.
Chocolate Cherry Cookies
Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 cup cocoa powder
⅓ cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chopped glace cherries
½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Icing sugar to coat cookies
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and
salt.
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, cocoa, oil, eggs and
vanilla. Stir in flour mixture, cherries and chocolate chips.
Roll dough into 1 ½ tbsp balls and roll to coat in
icing sugar. Place 12 balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in oven
for 10-12 minutes or until puffed but cracks are still moist on the tops.
Repeat to make approximately 36 cookies. Let cool a few
minutes before removing cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.

ReplyDeleteThese look like a variation on a chocolate crinkle cookie.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll try them with dried cherries.
