Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 stick butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup dry red wine, such as cabernet sauvignon
1 2/3 cup (10 oz) chocolate, bars or chips
1 cup dried cherries
Preparation
1
Take a stick of butter out to soften.
2
Preheat the oven to 375 F.
3
In a medium bowl whisk together all your dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder).
4
In a larger bowl, cream together your sugars and the butter that has now softened.
5
Beat it until it resembled fluffy snow.
6
Then add an egg and your vanilla extract. Beat it until smooth.
7
Add 1/2 of the dry mixture and beat until smooth.
8
Add the wine, beat until smooth.
9
Add the rest of the flour, along with the cherries and chocolate chips.
10
Switch to a spoounla and gently fold through until everything is incorporated. Careful of overmixing.
11
Grease a cookie sheet lined with parchment.
12
Using an ice cream scoop, you can get about 8 cookies on a 9X13 inch sheet.
13
These will expand in the oven so lay an inch apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops look dry, but soft, and the edges are firm.
14
Let these cool completely before serving.
15
Serve with a tall glass of milk, or better yet, chocolate milk. And as always, Chow!

About
These are "The Best Chocolate Cookies I Have Ever Had"! And I've had a fair share of cookies in my days. These cookies have the chewy, the chocolate-y, the salty, the sweet, the acidic, the fruity all in a handheld package. Did I mention there is a little cabernet in this, no wonder it taste good.
