Notes
- For the cherries, use a sharp knife to finely chop the cherries, then combine all of the cherry bits on top of several layers of paper towels. Wrap the paper towels around the cherry bits and squeeze the cherries to remove as much of the liquid as possible (do this over a bowl or the sink!).
- If you have trouble finding cherry extract, you can substitute strawberry extract or add an additional 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. Without the cherry extract the cherry flavor will not be quite as prominent but the cookies are still crazy delicious!
- After dipping your cookies in the melted chocolate it will take about 10-15 minutes for them to cool and harden if you are doing this at room temperature. To speed things up a bit, after dipping your cookies place them on a quarter-size sheet pan or flat serving platter lined with wax paper, parchment paper, or a baking mat. Pop it in the fridge or freezer for 2-3 minutes and they’ll be ready to go!
- To take the presentation to the next level, use any leftover melted chocolate to drizzle over cooled cookies OR sprinkle with chocolate shavings or very finely chopped almonds.
