CALORIES
GI
POTASSIUM
FIBER
1 piece (medium) of Sour cherry cookie (35 g) has 159 calories. That works out to 455 calories per 100 g. It contains 23.7 g of carbs, 1.8 g of protein, 6.4 g of fat and 0.7 g of fiber. Its 3.2 µg of Selenium covers 6% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 68 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
A Sour cherry cookie brings tart cherry pieces together with a sweet, buttery-style biscuit dough. The fruit may be folded through the dough or dotted across the top; baking gives the cookie a lightly crisp edge and a softer centre. Recipes vary, and it is often made at home as well as sold in bakeries.
Its sweetness is cut by the cherries’ tang, making it a natural match for tea or coffee, or an easy addition to a mixed cookie plate. It is mainly a carbohydrate-and-fat treat rather than a protein-rich snack: 100 g provides 455 calories. For a lighter serving, enjoy one cookie with unsweetened tea, or pair it with plain yoghurt and fresh fruit.

Sour cherry cookies are usually made with a butter-based dough containing flour, sugar and egg, plus pitted sour cherries. The fruit may be fresh, dried or preserved; draining fresh or thawed cherries helps keep the dough from becoming wet.
Yes, frozen sour cherries work in sour cherry cookies. Thaw them completely, drain off the liquid and pat them dry before folding them into the dough. Adding them frozen can cool the dough unevenly and release extra moisture as they bake.
Yes, dried cherries can replace fresh ones in sour cherry cookies. They add a concentrated, chewy fruit flavor without as much moisture, so they are less likely to soften the dough. Chop large pieces so they are distributed through the cookies.
To limit red streaks in sour cherry cookies, use firm, well-drained, pitted cherries and fold them in gently at the end. Avoid crushing the fruit or overmixing the dough; some color transfer is natural, especially with very juicy cherries.
Sour cherry cookies can spread when the butter is too soft, the dough is warm or the cherries add excess liquid. Chill the shaped dough before baking, and drain fresh or thawed cherries thoroughly to help the cookies hold their shape.
Yes, sour cherry cookie dough can be frozen after shaping. Freeze the portions on a tray until firm, then transfer them to a sealed container. Bake from frozen, allowing extra baking time, and check that the centers are fully baked.
No, sour cherries usually do not need to be cooked before going into sour cherry cookies. Remove the pits and drain the fruit; cooking it first can make it softer and release more juice into the dough.
Almond, vanilla and dark chocolate pair well with sour cherry cookies because they complement the fruit’s tartness. Add a little almond extract or chopped chocolate to the dough, rather than several strong flavorings that could overpower the cherries.
Sour cherry cookies pair nicely with black tea, coffee or a glass of milk. Their tart fruit flavor balances a sweet drink, while unsweetened tea or coffee lets the cherries stand out; serve the cookies once they have cooled.
Keep sour cherry cookies from getting soggy by cooling them completely before storing them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Make sure fresh or thawed cherries are well drained, since trapped fruit juice can soften the cookies.
