How to make it

  • Melt chocolate and set aside to cool.
  • Combine flour, salt, baking powder, cayenne, pepper, cinnamon, and cloves in a bowl.
  • Beat the butter and sugar until creamy.
  • Beat in the eggs.
  • Beat in the chocolate and vanilla.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients.
  • Chill dough until firm.
  • Form dough into 1 inch balls and roll in powdered sugar to coat; place on lightly greased cookie sheets an inch and a half apart.
  • Press a candied cherry into the center of each cookie.
  • Bake at 350 until cookies puff and crack but are still soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Sometimes I like to use nuts or candied ginger in place of the cherries, but the cherries are very festive!
