Description

Decadent cookies blending tender dough with white chocolate and cherry filling for a sweet and tart experience.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 packet vanilla sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 7 ounces white chocolate
  • 3.4 fluid ounces heavy cream
  • 10.5 ounces cherry jam (strained) or cherry jelly
  • 12 tablespoons cherry schnapps (optional)
  • 3.5 ounces milk or dark chocolate
  • A small handful of chopped dark chocolate for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Knead together the dough ingredients until they form a smooth mass. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
  2. Finely chop white chocolate, boil heavy cream, and pour over the chocolate. Stir until melted and chill the filling for a few hours.
