Decadent chocolate, sweet-tart cherries, and a surprise of black pepper make these cookies irresistible. Perfect for those late night chocolate cravings.
This super simple cookies to make will surprise you with how much flavor can be packed into such a small cookie. Rich dark chocolate, cherries, and pepper... perfect for an easy dessert or a midday treat.
Preheat oven to 350º. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix all dry ingredients together. I used a fresh pepper grinder and it was about 40 twists/grinds of pepper. In a separate mixing bowl, mix sugars and oil on medium low speed until combined. Add eggs/egg substitute and mix again until combined. In two batches, add flour mixture until just combined. Add in the Pomegranate balsamic and mix until just combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips and chopped dried cherries. Drop 1 large tablespoon of dough onto parchment paper and repeat until cookie sheet is full. Space about 1- 1/12” apart. Bake for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Recipe Note
For a late night treat, pair with a Malbec, Zinfandel, or Bordeaux style red blend.
