Directions
Step 1:

Prepare the dough by combining the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium basin.


Step 2

Simmer 2 inches of water in a medium pot. Butter and chocolate should be combined in a heatproof bowl, which should be set over simmering water but not really in it. Brown and granulated sugars are then added, and the pan is then removed from the heat. Add the egg next, then the vanilla. Mixture of flour should only be barely incorporated. For about 30 minutes, cover the bowl and chill it until it is solid.


Step 3:

Construct brandied cherries in the meanwhile. Combine brandy, granulated sugar, and cornflour in a small saucepan. Simmer for 3 minutes or until honey-like in consistency. Cherries are added when the mixture has completely cooled.

Step 4:

Create whipped cream by beating cream, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and a small amount of brandy on high speed in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Until you’re ready to assemble the cookies, cover and chill the bowl.


Bake cookies in Step 5:

350°F oven temperature. Use parchment paper to line two baking sheets. Making 16 balls of dough (2 Tablespoons each), divide the dough between the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 3 inches apart.


Step 6

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, rotating and switching pan positions halfway through, or until edges of cookies are just set and surface cracks emerge. After five minutes of cooling on the pans, move the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling.


Step 7

Pipe whipped cream over cookies just before serving, if preferred; top each with a brandied cherry and sprinkling of shaved chocolate. Optional: Fit piping bag with large star tip.

Ingredients
PUT IN MY RECIPES
1 All-purpose flour, 3/4 cup, and unsweetened cocoa powder, 3/4 cup
kosher salt, 1 teaspoon
Baking powder, 1 teaspoon
Baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon
Melted half a cup (1 stick) of butter
3/4 cup of sugar in granules
Packet brown sugar, half a cup
Three big eggs
sugar granules for rolling


Directions
Step 1

Mix the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a large bowl.
Step 2

Mix the melted butter, sugar, and eggs thoroughly in a medium bowl. Mix just till incorporated after adding liquid to dry ingredients. Put plastic wrap over the bowl and place in the fridge for two hours.

Step3

Set the oven to 350 degrees and line two sizable baking sheets with parchment paper. Powdered sugar should be put in a small basin. Form a ball out of the dough by scooping roughly 2 teaspoons. If the dough is too sticky, softly moisten your hands to aid in rolling it. Place dough on prepared baking sheet two inches apart after rolling in powdered sugar and thoroughly coating. Roll each piece of dough one more in powdered sugar after coating the entire batch. This will enable the cookies to bake with a more pronounced crinkle.


Step 4
Bake cookies for 14 minutes or until they puff and crack. The fissures will still appear slightly underdone even though the edges will just have been set. On a baking pan, let cool.
