Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Cherry Cookies
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, ¼ cup of Dutch-process cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of sea salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together ½ cup of softened unsalted butter, ½ cup of light brown sugar, and ¼ cup of granulated sugar using a hand mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
- Add two large room-temperature egg yolks and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix on low speed until thoroughly combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Using your hands, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes.
- Heat ⅓ cup of heavy cream until it begins to boil, remove from heat, pour over 4 ounces of chopped chocolate, and stir until smooth.
- Fill each cooled cookie indent with the chocolate cherry ganache and chill briefly to set.

Notes
Chilling the dough is crucial for maintaining shape during baking. Use high-quality chocolate for the ganache for better flavor.
