While we’re on the subject of chocolate and cherries, can we talk about chocolate covered cherries for a minute? Do you remember the first time you bit into one? The anticipation…you *knew* it would be delicious. You took a bite. And it was filled.with.goo. A slimy cherry, surrounded by goo. They should be banned from all boxes of chocolate.
Quadruple Chocolate-Cherry Cookies
{adapted from Everyday Food #18, Black Forest cookies}
1 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
2 TBSP dutch-process cocoa
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
4 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
4 oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into small chunks
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
1 and 1/2 cups dried cherries
In a medium bowl, whisk the the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Remove the bowl from the heat. Whisk in the sugars and then the eggs.
Preheat the oven to 350. Line 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out mounds of dough (or use a spoon). Bake until the edges are set, but the centers still look soft, about 12 minutes.
{BUT...promise me you'll eat one warm. PROMISE. Don't make me come over there.}
I hear ya on the chocolate covered cherries. Blech!!
ReplyDeleteI love chocolate and cherries together, thanks for sharing! I also have to ask about your whisk, where can I find one like this? I certainly could use one like this.
ReplyDeleteJeanette...it is from Sur La Table...I think it's called a Batter whisk.
ReplyDeleteooohhhh! yum - I love chocolate and cherry. I can't wait to make these and yes, I promise to eat one warm.. or 2 or 3...
ReplyDeleteI'm not really one for cherries, but these look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI agree on the chocolate cookies, give me a good old chocolate chip cookie any day. This does look good though with the cherry.
ReplyDeleteMmm such a great combination!
ReplyDeleteI have got to try this recipe - they look so yummy!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try these. BTW, I cannot STAND choc covered cherries. Totally gross!
ReplyDeleteI am not going to eat one warm just so you HAVE to come over. ;) These look amazing Bridget!
ReplyDeleteTotally agreed on the chocolate covered cherries, but these cookies look amazing!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletethese look awesome!
ReplyDeletejust a few days ago I posted about chocolate-chocolate chip cookies that I stuffed with chocolate covered cherries. Like you I typically prefer just regular choc chip cookies....yours look awesome!
These look amazingly moist and chewy and I love this flavor combination. Thanks for the new cookie recipe :)
ReplyDeleteI am getting ready to bake brownies, but these look yummie to
ReplyDeleteI bet those are really moist! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I will have to look for it.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at quadruple chocolate, but yes, those candy box cherries are foul. Trader Joe's makes amazing choco-covered cherries, though.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Chocolate covered cherries, I can't stand them because of the goo! Blech!!! As for your Chocolate Cherry cookies here with dried cherries, I could SO eat these. Hmmm, I might have to make these for the Cookie Swap I'm participating in at The Little Kitchen! Thanks!
ReplyDeletei'm drooling....
ReplyDeleteHonestly, when I was younger I used to like the chocolate covered cherries. Then I grew out of that phase and moved on to Lowney's Cherry Blossoms which I haven't had for years.
ReplyDeleteThese do look delicious and chock-full of chocolate and cherries. What's not to love?
that's the definition of the word decadent, they look SO good, moist and full of flavor
ReplyDeleteI ADORE chocolate covered cherries, and I KNOW these cookies will be incredible!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE chocolate + cherries, but totally agree with you on the chocolate-covered cherries with the white goo. So gross! This looks like an amazing recipe! yummm
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, when I saw chocolate and cherries, all I could think about was my childhood trauma of the GOO! So needless to say, I just might go back to the yummy combo of chocolate and cherries. Thanks again as always for the yummy recipes. My family thanks you!
ReplyDeleteI love Chocolate and Cherry Combos!! These look perfect :)
ReplyDeleteI never actually liked those chocolate covered cherries, but this version w/ the dried cherries looks way more awesome!
ReplyDeleteGoodness. I like that combo too. But not the chocolate covered cherry. I'll sign the petition to ban it if you get it going. ; )
ReplyDeleteChocolate covered cherries = gross.
ReplyDeleteChocolate covered DRIED cherries = delicious.
Definitely need to try these cookies!
Oh, yea, the ones at Whole Foods. I am eating them as soon as I get in the car!
DeleteThese are one of my favorite cookies! I love dried cherries!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd love these - can't wait to try them! :)
ReplyDeleteChocolate and cherries.....yes! Those look heavenly.
ReplyDeleteThis is my kind of cookie. I will take a dozen:)
ReplyDeleteOooooooh do those look divine. And I love the *no goo* surprise inside.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog and it is BEAUTIFUL! I will surely be following :)
Chocolate and cherries - one of my first candy memories. These look great, I think I can make these without making a mess. :)
ReplyDeleteAbout how many cookies does a batch make?
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look great! I love chocolate and cherries too. You're right on about chocolate covered cherries......they should be banned....they're awful.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, those chocolate cherry cookies look incredible!
ReplyDeleteGreat tips. I froze cookie dough in advance for last year's baking and it worked out so well. Really takes the stress off of those few days before. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have made these cookies today, and they were so much delicious!! Thank you for the recipe, I will definitely do them again... and again :))
ReplyDeleteI made these on a whim last night after a quick trip to the store for chocolate. THEY WERE A HIT!! Totally won the neighbors over -- they had a plate of fresh, warm cookies delivered to their door at 9 p.m. Very easy, too!
ReplyDeletenice opinion, thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteThese are delicious. I am not usually one to say something is too rich/sweet but these are. I think next time I will make them 1 tablespoon size. I got my dried cherries from Amazon.
ReplyDeleteSo I kinda forgot about the dough in my fridge...for 2 days...and now I have a solid brick of chocolate dough to thaw out a bit lol.
