Black Forest Cookies

•  1/2 stick unsalted
  butter, softened (1/4 cup)
•  3/4 cup brown sugar
•  1 egg
•  1 tsp vanilla extract
•  1 & 1/3 cup all
  purpose flour
•  1/4 cup cocoa powder
•  1/2 tsp baking soda
•  1/4 tsp salt
•  1/2 cup drained &
  finely chopped maraschino cherries (plus extra for garnish)
•  3/4 cup semi-sweet
  chocolate chips (plus extra for garnish)
•  To top the cookies:
  additional chopped maraschino cherries and chocolate chips

1. Preheat the oven to 350º F.
2. In a mixing bowl beat the butter and brown sugar with an
   electric mixer for 1 minute, or until combined. Add in the egg and vanilla
   extract, beat again.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa
   powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to wet
   ingredients, mixing by hand with a spatula. The batter will be thick.
4. Drain and finely chop the maraschino cherries. Be sure to
   pat the cherries to absorb as much excess liquid as possible. Add in the
   chopped cherries and chocolate chips, mixing with a spatula until combined.
5. Use a cookie scoop to drop dough balls onto a silicone lined
   baking sheet. Press additional maraschino cherry pieces and chocolate chips all
   around the outside of the dough balls.
6. Bake for 13-15 minutes.
7. Allow the cookies to cool to the touch on the baking sheet
   (about 15 minutes) then move them to a cooling rack.
