How to Make Chocolate Cherry Cordial Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon rum extract in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll about 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball.
- Place a maraschino cherry in the center of the dough ball and gently mold the dough around the cherry, completely enclosing it.
- Roll the cookie in granulated sugar to coat.
- Place cookies 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are set. Let cool on a wire rack.
- For the glaze (optional): Whisk together ½ cup powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons milk, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
