Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup (57g) unsalted butter room temperature
  • ¾ cup (161g) brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ⅓ cups (160g) all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (21g) unsweetened cocoa powder

  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup drained & finely chopped maraschino cherries plus extra for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Beat the butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer for 1 minute until combined, then add the egg and vanilla extract and beat again.
  3. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate small bowl, then gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until a thick batter forms.
  4. Drain, pat dry, and finely chop the maraschino cherries, then stir the cherries and chocolate chips into the batter until combined.
  5. Scoop dough balls onto a silicone-lined baking sheet and press additional cherry pieces and chocolate chips into the exterior of each ball.

  7. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for approximately 15 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
