How to Make Chocolate Cherry Stripes
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ cup milk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half.
- To one half, knead in 1 cup of melted semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- To the other half, knead in 1 cup chopped maraschino cherries and ½ cup chopped walnuts (or pecans).
- Line an 8x4 inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang on the sides.
- Divide each dough in half again.
- Press half of the chocolate dough into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Press half of the cherry dough evenly on top of the chocolate layer.
- Repeat layers with remaining chocolate and cherry dough.
- Use the overhanging plastic wrap to lift the log out of the pan and wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Once chilled, slice the log into ¼-inch thick slices.
- Cut each slice into thirds, creating the striped effect.
- Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Cool completely on baking sheets before serving.
