Chocolate Cherry Cookies Ingredients
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
8 tablespoons salted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
about 36 maraschino cherries, undrained
Chocolate Cherry Coating Ingredients
2 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons sugar
4 oz chocolate melting wafers, or chocolate chips
Chocolate Cherry Cookies Directions
In a large bowl, measure out 1 1/4 cups flour, ½ cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Give this a whisk to combine, and set it aside for later.
In a large bowl, add 8 tablespoons of softened butter, and use a hand or stand mixer to beat the butter for about a minute. Add 1 cup sugar and beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until it’s light and fluffy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times.
Add one egg, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a teaspoon of almond extract, and beat on medium speed for about a minute until well blended, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Begin adding the flour mixture, start with tipping in a half and mixing.
Okay, once it’s mixed in, scrape down the bowl and add the rest of the flour. Mix just until incorporated. Take about a tablespoon of the dough and roll it between your hands to form balls that are about an inch in size. Space them on a parchment lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Use your thumb to press a small indent into the top of each cookie, you could also use a round ½ teaspoon measure. Put a maraschino cherry, cut side down, in the indent of each cookie. Don’t drain the maraschino cherries from the jar, we’re going to use the juice to make the cherry chocolate coating. Once you’ve added all the cherries, chill the cookies for an hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the cookies into the 350 oven and bake for about 20 minutes, until the cookies are just set around the edges. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then on a wire rack.
While the cookies are cooling, combine 2 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons of the maraschino cherry juice, and two tablespoons of sugar in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, using a whisk to stir every so often. Bring the liquid to a simmer and once the sugar has dissolved, add about half of the chocolate wafers. If you don’t have chocolate wafers, you can also use chocolate chips. Stir to melt, add the rest of the chocolate, i’m using about ½ or 4 oz of chocolate. Once the chocolate has melted, remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
Spoon the melted cherry flavored chocolate over each cookie. Let the topping cool briefly, then add another layer of melted chocolate. I put these in the refrigerator to chill and harden the chocolate coating.

Cherry Chocolate Truffles
Cherries and chocolate, supposed aphrodisiacs and staples in candy boxes the world over, must necessarily be sinfully indulgent, right? Far from it, these ambrosial bites require only four spare ingredients and no added sugar to taste positively decadent. Few desserts honestly qualify as “health food,” but this one can be justified as a good source of antioxidants thanks to those two superfoods, right? Go ahead, enjoy these unexpectedly wholesome truffles with a clear conscience!
Cherry Center:
1½ cups dried cherries
½ cup Dutch process cocoa powder
Chocolate Coating:
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped, or ⅔ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1–3 tablespoons plain non-dairy milk
Purée the cherries in your food processor until they become a smooth paste, pausing to scrape down the sides of the container as needed. Add in the cocoa powder and process again. Continue blending and soon enough the whole mixture should come together into a firm ball. Move this dough to a storage container on the counter and allow the flavors to develop overnight. You can continue working with the dough, if you are in a hurry, but I highly suggest you give it time to rest.
To make the truffles, scoop a small amount of dough and roll it into a ball in the palm of your hands. The size of each ball will dictate the final size of each truffle. I would suggest about 1 tablespoon of dough for the core, but you may choose to go larger or smaller. Repeat this process until the entire fruit base is used up.
Once you have the cherry centers ready to go, place the chocolate in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, just until it stirs together smoothly with no lumps. Stir in the non-dairy milk to your desired consistency. More non-dairy milk will result in a higher ratio of center to coating and the coating will be softer, while less will give you a thicker chocolate shell that solidifies more.
Set a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet in your workspace. Drop one cherry center into the chocolate at a time, rolling it around to completely coat. Once fully coated, drop each truffle onto the parchment. Let sit at room temperature and let dry for at least two hours. If you’d rather not wait, you can stash the truffles in your refrigerator or freezer to speed up the process.
Makes approximately 24 truffles
