Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sometimes all you want is a really good chewy cookie. Something simple that will totally satisfy your sweet tooth and that is exactly what these Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies did for me yesterday! Last night I did this extravagant dinner party at work complete with cheese platters, appetizers, 3 main dishes, numerous sides and plenty of vino and I decided that after tons of work of the savory dishes the perfect dessert would be a chewy cookie!

Chocolate Chip Cherry Cookies

After raiding the pantry I found a bag of tart cherries which my BFF Matt Armendariz introduced me to last year. I’m literally obsessed with them. They are the perfect addition to a salad, or just to munch on, or to throw into some cookie dough!! Obviously I opted for the cookies. The result was a delicious cookie that balances the tartness of the cherries with the sweetness of the chocolate chips. Pure heaven.

  14. If these cookies taste as great as your M&M cookies, then I’m going to NEED to make them. Since they have oatmeal and cherries in the ingredients list, could they be considered a breakfast food? If so, they’re totally going to be made and brought to my early morning baking commitment. Awesome!
