012211Dark Chocolate Cookies with Sour Cherries


Sour, tart cherries and dark chocolate is truly a match made in heaven!! This recipe brings the "marriage" to perfection! Using cocoa powder always creates a bit of a dust storm in the kitchen - I usually cover the mixer with a dish towel so the powder doesn't get everywhere. The dough is rather dense and I ended up using my hand to mix in the chocolate bits and cherries. Instead of forming 1/4 cup balls, I used an ice cream scooper and dropped the dough onto the parchment. The cookies do get nice and puffy within the time specified, and yields the predicted 3 dozen. Very delicious and decadent combination - great with milk!
