How to Make Black Forest Flourless Brownie Cookies

Ingredients:

For the cookies:

1 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup cherries, pitted and chopped (can use fresh or frozen)

For the whipped cream:

1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional garnish:

Additional cherries for serving
Chocolate shavings

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gently fold in the chopped cherries until evenly distributed.
Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie as they will spread slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look soft.
While the cookies are baking, prepare the whipped cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Once the cookies are done, allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies topped with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with additional cherries and chocolate shavings if desired.
