Description
Delicious cookies with a rich chocolate dough and a sweet cherry center, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cherry preserves
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Roll dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make an indentation in the center of each ball with your thumb.
- Fill each indentation with a small amount of cherry preserves.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set. Let them cool completely.
- Melt chocolate chips and drizzle over the cooled cookies for an extra touch. Enjoy!
Notes
For a neat thumbprint, dip your thumb in a little flour before pressing so the dough won’t stick. If your cherry preserves are thick, warm them a few seconds so they flow into the hole easily.
