Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 c butter, room temperature
1 c sugar
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 c chopped dried cherries
1 c cherry preserves
1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 c vanilla or white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 350° F.
  • 2. Cream together butter and sugar.
  • 3. Blend in egg and vanilla.

  • 5. Add to butter mixture along with dried cherries, just until blended.
  • 6. Scoop rounded teaspoonsful of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • 7. Bake at 350° F. for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
  • 8. While cookies are baking, melt cherry preserves. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat cherry preserves on high for one minute in the microwave.

  • 12. Spoon chocolate cherry mixture into the wells on top of each cookie.
  • 13. Melt white chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a stainless steel bowl set over boiling water.
