How to Make Chocolate Cherry Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place dough balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Press down the center of each ball with your thumb to create a slight indentation.
- Drain the cherries, reserving about 4 teaspoons of the juice.
- Place one cherry into the indentation of each cookie.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and condensed milk together, stirring constantly.
- Stir in 4 teaspoons of the reserved cherry juice until smooth. If the frosting is too thick, add more juice, 1 teaspoon at a time.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the chocolate mixture over each cherry, spreading to cover.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
