- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder; and salt; set aside.
- Place chopped chocolate and butter in a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water; stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat; whisk in sugars, then eggs, until smooth.

BLACK FOREST COOKIES
From Everyday Food. I haven't tried these yet, but am planning adding to my Holiday cookie baskets. Update: Thanks to Gayla's kind review I had to make these NOW. Soooo glad I did, some of the best cookies I've ever made. Almost like a chocolate covered cherry cookie. Maybe I just make big cookies, but I only ended up with about 24, and 11 1/2 minutes was just the right bake time for my oven.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher is ideal.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from seeping out.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to spread the filling on the cookies.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Black Forest cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer them with a chocolate ganache filling or a whipped cream filling, these cookies are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these Black Forest cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
