Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • If you don't have unsweetened coconut, you can use sweetened coconut and reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe by 1/4 cup.
  • Be sure to drain the cherries well before using them. This will help to prevent the cookies from becoming too wet.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them to firm up and prevent them from sticking together.
