– butter, softened – brown sugar – sugar – egg – vanilla extract – flour – cocoa powder

ingredients

Preheat the oven for 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Add in the egg and vanilla and mix well.

1

In a medium bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.

2

Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and place them at least 2 inches apart  on an ungreased cookie sheet. Place your thumb in the center of each cookie to make an indentation.

3

Place a cherry in the center of each one. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on the pan for 5  minutes before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.

4

Once the cookies are cool, place the chocolate  chips in a heat safe bowl. Heat in 20 second intervals, stirring after  each heating, until the chocolate is completely melted.

5

Place the chocolate in a zip top baggie, snip off the end, and drizzle over top of each cookie. Allow the chocolate  to harden before serving.
