Ingredients

1/2 c. dried cherries

1 c. water

1/4 c. butter, room temperature

3/4 c. sugar

2 eggs

1 t. pure almond extract

1 t. pure vanilla extract

1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 c. plus 2 T. unbleached white flour

1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder ( I used Droste's)

1/2 t. salt

1 1/2 t. baking powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 350.

Lightly oil a cookie sheet.

Heat the cherries and water just to boiling, and then set aside to cool.

Cream together the butter and sugar until light and well combined.

Blend in the eggs, almond and vanilla.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Drain the cherries and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture, and then stir them into the egg mixture.

In a separate bowl sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder.

With a rubber spatula fold the egg mixture into the dry ingredients until the dough is uniform and holds together when pressed with lightly floured hands.

Form the dough into a 12 inch x 3 inch diameter log and then press down on the log flattening it to about one inch, so that the log measures about 14 x 4 inches.

Bake on the top rack of the oven for 25 - 30 minutes, until the dough is firm, and slightly brown.

Remove from the oven and transfer to a cutting board.

When cool enough to handle slice crosswise into twenty, 3/4 inch pieces.

Lay cut side up on the baking sheet.

Bake for about 5 minutes on each side.

To flip them use tongs or a spatula.

Cool completely on a rack.
