- ¾ c. granulated sugar
- ¾ c. packed brown sugar
- 1 c. stick butter softened
- 1 large egg
- 2 ¼ c. all purpose flour not self rising
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1/2- ¾ c. dried cherries
- 3 large dark chocolate bars 85% cocoa= approximately 12 ounces, chopped into small pieces (will equal roughly 2 cups)
- pinch cinammon
- 1-2 dried chipotle peppers chopped fine (amount depends on if you like hear or not, use one for less heat)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Mix sugars, butter and egg in large bowl. Next, stir in the flour, salt and baking soda. Then add in the chocolate and cherries. The batter will be very stiff!!
Drop dough by tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. Let cool- the center of the cookie will still be soft when you take the pan out of the oven!
