Chocolate Cherry Cookies
Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 1 box Devils Food Cake Mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 jar maraschino cherries (drained, reserve liquid, and rougly chopped)
For the Drizzle
- 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
- 2 tbsp cherry juice
Instructions
For the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine cake mix, eggs and vegetable oil in a large mixing bowl. Stir until combined, the batter will be thick.
- Fold in the chopped cherries. Chill for 20-30 minutes.
- Drop cookies onto cookie sheet using a small cookie scoop. 12 cookies about 2 inches apart should fit on a standard sized cookie pan.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. Do not overcook. Cool on pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Cherry Drizzle
- In a small bowl, add confectioner's sugar to the cherry juice. Stir until just combined.
- Drizzle over the cooled cookies
- Enoy!
Notes
- Chilling the dough for 20-30 minutes will make the dough easier to work with and improve the texture of the cookies
- If you do not have a cookie scoop, you can roll the dough into 1 inch balls
- These cookies are meant to be very moist. If you overcook them, they will become more cake-like. Which is okay, but you don't want them to be too dry.
