A soft and chewy sugar cookie, coated in crunchy sugar and filled with a chocolate covered cherry. Pure indulgence and so pretty on a cookie tray.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350*F/180*C/gas mark 4. Line a large baking sheet with some baking paper. Set aside.
Cream the butter and sugar together using an electric hand whisk, until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and then the vanilla until well combined, scraping the sides of the bowl.
Sift the flour, soda, baking powder and salt together.
Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture on low speed, mixing all together until just combined and no dry streaks are present. Try not to overbeat.
Shape into 15 equal sized balls.
Put the sugar for rolling into a bowl. Roll the cookie dough balls in this sugar to coat.
Place the coated cookie dough balls 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
