Why You’ll Love This Recipe? 

  • Flavor: The flavor of these cookies is just amazing. The combination of the sweet chocolate base cookie with slightly sour cherry compote creates a harmonious balance that will keep you asking for more.
  • Texture: These cookies have a soft texture with a gooey center due to cherry fillings. These cookies are buttery, tender, and slightly crumbly, with a delightful contrast from the gooey and jammy cherry filling in the center.
  • Easy-to-make: This recipe is easy to make, as they have very simple steps and few ingredients. 
  • Versatility: These cookies are versatile and adaptable; you can add nuts and fruits of your choice.
  • Fun to make: Baking these cookies can be a fun experience. Shaping the cookies and creating the thumbprint is enjoyable, making them a great activity for kids and adults.

Important Ingredients Used In The Recipe

  • Butter: It is the foundation of making the cookie dough, providing both richness and flavor. I have used salted butter for the recipe for a heightened taste.
  • Cocoa powder: As the cookies have a chocolate flavor, I have used natural cocoa powder to make the cookies. 
  • Sugar: I have used castor sugar to make these cookies; it adds sweetness and helps create a tender texture.
  • Cherry filling: Cherry filling is the star ingredient that fills the thumbprint cavities in the cookies. It provides a burst of sweet and slightly tangy cherry flavor. You can either use homemade or store-bought filling for the same.

How To Make Cherry Cookies

Preparation: Weigh all the ingredients using a kitchen scale before making the dough. Line your baking trays with a silicon mat or butter paper. Preheat the oven to 180°C or 350°F.

Creaming: With a spatula, cream butter and sugar until it’s pale and fluffy. Add in milk and vanilla essence and mix again. 

Make a dough: Now sift in the dry ingredients, i.e., all-purpose flour, natural cocoa powder, and salt. Mix them to get a smooth dough. 

Chill the dough: Freeze the dough for at least one hour before shaping and baking. Chilling is important in this recipe as the dough is quite sticky to give it a shape. 

Divide: After chilling the dough, divide the dough into eight parts weighing 20 grams each.

Shape: Place them on the lined baking tray and press in the center of the cookie dough balls with your fingertips to give it a thumbprint impression.

Fill the thumbprint cavities with cherry filling. 

Baking: Bake the cookies at 180°C or 350°F (OTG mode: upper rod + lower rod + fan) for 10 – 12 minutes. After baking the cookies, let them cool down completely.

Garnish: Brush cold glaze or nappage on the side of the cookies and stick chocolate shavings. Brush nappage; without it, the chocolate shavings won’t stick to the cookies.

Chef’s Tips For The Recipe

Quick Tip On Creaming.

Cream butter and sugar properly. Over-creaming may spread the cookies too much, and under-creaming may produce hard cookies.
Use soft butter for creaming it with sugar, making creaming much easier.

Importance Of Chilling The Cookie Dough.

Chill the cookie dough before shaping and baking. Chilling the cookie dough is helpful as it is quite sticky to handle and will also help maintain the shape while baking.

Tip For Mess-Free Baking.

Use butter paper or a silicon baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking to the tray and make cleanup easier.
Do not overfill the cavities with cherry filling, as it may overflow during baking.

How To Store Cherry Cookies

You can store the cookies at room temperature for 3 – 4 days; if it is not decorated, they can stay fresh for 5 – 6 days.

If you need to store the cookies longer, keep them in the fridge for two weeks and in the freezer for at least one month.
Cover the cookies with food-grade plastic wrap or place them in an air-tight container.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Can I freeze the cookie dough to make it later?

Yes, you can freeze the cookie dough for 2-3 months. Make sure to thaw it in the fridge overnight, shape them, and bake.

You can make these gluten-free by substituting the dry ingredients with gluten-free ones.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
