Method

  1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Beat the butter, sugars and egg until smooth, then mix in the flour, chocolates and cherry pieces and ½ tsp salt. Spoon onto non-stick baking sheets in large rough blobs - you'll get 20 out of this mix. Make sure they are well spaced as the cookies grow substantially as they bake. The raw dough can be frozen.
  2. Bake for 12-14 mins until just golden, but still quite pale and soft in the middle. If baking from frozen, give them a few mins more. Cool on the sheets for 5 mins, then lift onto racks with a fish slice and leave to cool completely.

Other flavours

Try swapping the cherries for sour cherries, nuts or even more chocolate.

    I'm afraid these went in the bin. They didn't taste nice at all which I found very surprising after reading other comments. I followed the recipe to the letter too so not quite sure what went wrong

    these were amazing and by far the nicest biscuits i have ever made! I did think they were a bit too big though, so I used a large glass to cut them into rounds. The second time, I halved the size of the blobs and made over 40 smaller ones which I thought tasted better - more crunchy than chewy and firmed up much quicker too.

    very nice cookies, although recipie says you get 20 large cookies out of the mixture, we got 11 average sized cookies, we replaced the cherrys for smarties, very sickly but nice.

    Hallelujah....real cookies in a home-cooked recipe. Absolutely spot-on. I have made these now many times from this recipe as it is a 'fail safe' one. Just remember to give the cookies plenty of space on your baking tray as they really do grow! Yum!

    I made these for some friends who were visiting from the US...they gave them full marks and we demolished the lot. I substituted the cherries for walnut pieces and they were sooo good.

    Just made these and it's the first time I've ever succeeded in making gooey cookies! I used dark muscovado sugar rather than light, as that's what I'd got in and substituted the cherries with little pieces of fudge. Some of the fudge melted and caramelised around the edge. Nom nom nom! Mine didn't spread and flatten as much as I expected, but certainly not a problem!
