Chocolate Cherry Crinkle Cookies With Dried Cherries

"Soft cherry cookies get their flavor from real cherry preserves mixed right into the dough, with chopped dried cherries and dark chocolate in every bite. Each cookie is rolled in sugar twice so it bakes up with those pretty crinkly tops and bright powdered sugar cracks. They come out tender in the center, lightly crisp on the edges, and full of cherry flavor instead of just tasting like powdered sugar. Most crinkle cookies look pretty but taste mostly like powdered sugar. These don’t. The cherry preserves carry the flavor all the way through the dough, and the chopped dried cherries and chocolate chunks are a surprise in every bite. You end up with a cookie that’s fruity first, chocolate second, and not overly sweet."
