Double Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies
Just in time for the holiday baking season turn a classic candy into a cookie with these Double Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies!
Can you believe that the year is almost over? It’s insane and feels like it has gone by so fast! I hope the holidays slow down and don’t rush by because I enjoy this time of year so much! My kids and I have an annual holiday baking day, where we spend all day making a bunch of treats to send off to friends and my husbands co-workers. One of the things we like to bake are cookies.
Well today I am super excited to be sharing these cookies with you! It is so fun to come up with different combinations. When I saw these new cherry flavored filled morsels I immediately knew I needed to try them out. Would they really taste like cherry, was my first question? It was unbelievable how they actually did! And because cherries taste so good with chocolate I knew I had to a bunch of extra chocolate for good measure! ENJOY!
