Rich and fudgy Black Forest Cookies inspired by classic Black Forest cake, made with deep dark chocolate, jammy dried cherries, and finished with a sweet white chocolate drizzle.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup dark cocoa powder

1/2 cup dark chocolate, melted and slightly cooled

1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup dried cherries, chopped

1 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips

1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted (for drizzle)

1/4 cup dried cherries, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and brown sugar together for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in melted dark chocolate and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
  6. Fold in chopped dried cherries and dark chocolate chunks.
  7. Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon portions onto prepared baking sheets. Press a few extra cherry pieces on top if desired.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set and centers are soft.
  9. Cool cookies on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Drizzle cooled cookies with melted white chocolate and sprinkle with extra dried cherries.

Notes

Chilling the dough for about 20 minutes helps the cookies hold their shape.

Dark cocoa powder gives the cookies a deeper chocolate flavor.

Semi-sweet chocolate can be substituted for dark chocolate.

Skip the white chocolate drizzle for a more rustic cookie.

Warm briefly before serving for an extra fudgy texture.
