If you love the taste of chocolate and cherries together and if you love cookies than you will love these double chocolate cherry cookies.
Easter Sunday, Craig and I went to his sister Velyn’s for dinner. Saturday, when we received the invite I had just taken my cheesecake out of the oven and I volunteered to bring dessert. It occurred to me that perhaps the cheesecake would not turn out and I needed a fall back plan, these double chocolate cherry cookies came from this…
…luckily both were good
