Sweet little treats filled with chocolate and cherry!

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Yield: 6

Preheat oven to 400F. Stir flour, cocoa, sugar and salt together until combined, then stir in dried cherries & chocolate chips. Add the cream and stir until mixture comes together in a somewhat stiff dough. Turn out onto cutting board and use your hands to press the dough into a square about 2 inches thick. Cut this dough into 9 squares. Dip squares into melted butter and then into sugar, pressing lightly so it adheres. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes or until they spring back when pressed lightly.

In saucepan, bring sugar, vanilla bean and 3/4 cup water to boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer for 3 minutes. Add pitted cherries; return mixture to simmer. Stir cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water; stir into cherry mixture and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until thickened. Discard vanilla bean.
