I'm still busy away from blogging but I'll jump on as time permits. Today for the first time ever I tasted a soft, chewy, and ultra chocolatey cookie that I never knew existed! The rich dark chocolate (like an Oreo) cookie is filled with chunks of white chocolate (or substitute dark chocolate chips) and maraschino cherry pieces. I think both the taste and texture make the cookie delectable. Here is the recipe:
Black Forest Cookies
Ingredients:
1 stick butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar (I try to cut the sugar a tad without a resulting cookie failure😏)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons good cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
a pinch of salt
1 cup maraschino cherries, finely chopped
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (or chopped and feel free to substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips)
1) In a large bowl and using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2) Next add the egg and vanilla and beat with the mixer.
4) Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in portions until just combined.
5) Mix in the white chocolate and maraschino cherries.
6) Cover the dough and refrigerate for 2 hours or more.
7) Scoop the cookie dough (into tablespoon-size balls or globs) and deposit onto a buttered or parchment-lined prepared cookie sheet.
8) Bake in a pre-heated 350 degrees F oven for 9 - 11 minutes or until the edges set.
I like Black Forest Cookies even better than the cake. Delicious paired with a cup of milk or coffee. Down the hatch or freeze a batch!
