Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dried cherries, chopped
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined. Fold in the chopped cherries.
- Shape Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart. Gently shape the dough into heart shapes with your hands.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make Chocolate Drizzle: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and melted.
- Drizzle: Using a fork, drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled cookies, allowing it to set before serving.
