- Add in the plain flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt and beat until a cookie dough is formed.
- Add in the dark chocolate chips, and chopped up cherries and fold together.
- Scoop the cookies onto two large lined trays, using tablespoons. I make 10 cookies all together.
- Place the cookie dough in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or in the fridge for an hour or so!
- Whilst the cookie dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 200ºc/180ºfan.

- Once baked, leave them to cool on the tray for at least 30 minutes, as they will continue to bake whilst cooling!
Notes
These cookies last for 4-5+ days once baked. They freeze well for 3+ months, raw or baked. For smaller cookies, bake for about 9 minutes. Fresh cherries or dried cherries can be used.
