mmmm coooookies

Because I am occasionally a good wife, yesterday I partially invented new cookies for Stirling. I don't have a name for them yet. They could be "Black Forest Cookies" but that's not quite right.

1 cup butter
1/2 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 2/3 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
splash of bittersweet booze (again with the sloe gin, but good amaretto would work)
1 cup chopped white chocolate
1/2 cup dried sour cherries

Cream butter & sugar, add egg (eggs work better in cookies when they're at room temp.), add booze. Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking soda & salt together. Add to butter mixture, mix well but not for too long. Add white chocolate chunks and cherries, stir to combine, bake at 350F for about 10 minutes.
