How to make

  1. STEP 1

    Heat oven to 350°F.

    Combine 1 cup butter, brown sugar, sugar, egg and almond extract in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; beat at low speed until well mixed. Stir in chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped cherries.

  3. STEP 3

    Drop dough by level tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 12-14 minutes or until set. Cool completely.

  4. STEP 4

    Melt baking chocolate and 2 tablespoons butter in 1-quart saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, 2-3 minutes or until smooth.

  5. STEP 5
