1 cup Pamela's Baking ; Pancake Mix
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar or sugar substitute
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2/3 cup dried cherries
3 tablespoons chocolate chips, white or semi-sweet
Yield: approximately 30 cookies.
Preheat oven to 350°.
Put Pamela's Baking ; Pancake Mix in a small mixing bowl. Add cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir with a whisk.
In a separate bowl, with electric beaters, cream the butter and sugar at high speed until well blended. Add vanilla and egg. Beat well. With mixer on low gradually add the flour mixture. Beat just until combined. Fold in the cherries and chocolate chips. Place tablespoon sized scoops of dough 2 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. Flatten with the round end of the tablespoon (like you would with Peanut Butter cookies). Bake for 12 minutes or until just set. Remove from oven; cool pans on wire rack 5 minutes then remove cookies from pans and allow to cool the rest of the way on wire racks.
