How to make it

  • 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.
