DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHERRY DROPS
*****************************

1 3/4 C AP flour
3/4 C Unsweetened Cocoa powder
1/4 t salt
1 C butter, softened
1 C white sugar
1/4 C light corn syrup
2 t vanilla extract
1 large egg
8 oz semisweet chocolate, cut into 1/2" chunks
1 C dried tart cherries

Preheat oven to 350.

In small bowl, combine flour, cocoa and salt.
In large bowl, beat butter and sugar at medium speed until creamy, occasionally scraping down bowl. Beat in corn syrup, vanilla and egg until well mixed. At low speed, gradually add flour mixture; beat just until blended, again scraping down bowl. By hand, mix in chocolate chunks and cherries.

Drop dough by rounded teaspoons, 2" apart, onto parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake about 10 minutes, until cookie tops are just firm. Transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely. Makes 4-5 dozen cookies, depending on size.

I hope you enjoy this recipe. There's NOTHING that dried cherries won't make taste better, except maybe liver:-)
