INGREDIENTS:

COOKIES:

  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 tsp. baking powder

  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt

  • 1 stick unsalted butter, softened

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

  • 1/3 cup buttermilk

GLAZE:

  • 6 tbsp. salted butter

  • 1/4 cup milk

  • 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 2 tbsp. Bell-View Taste the Fruit 1st Cherry Preserves

  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

  • 2 cup powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. For the cookies: Put the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 50 percent power in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.

  2. Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk.

  3. Combine the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth. Add the egg, vanilla and melted chocolate and beat until well combined. Slowly mix in dry ingredients and buttermilk.

  4. Chill dough for 1 hour. Once chilled, roll out dough balls on the baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until the tops of the cookies are puffed and the edges are set, 8 to 10 minutes.

GLAZE:

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and whisk in the milk, cocoa powder and vanilla until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and whisk vigorously until smooth. Then add in Cherry Preserves. Spoon the glaze over the cookies, letting it drip down the sides. Let the glaze set, about 1 hour.
