Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 20 pieces maraschino cherries (drained)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating well until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft, sticky dough forms.
Scoop out about 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball. Place each dough ball onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between them.
Gently flatten each dough ball and press a maraschino cherry into the center, ensuring it is partially nestled into the cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
While the cookies bake, prepare the chocolate glaze by melting the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Drizzle the chocolate glaze over the top of each cookie, ensuring the cherry is still visible.
Let the glaze set for about 15 minutes, then serve and enjoy!
