I have had cherries on my mind for the past few weeks. We have a cherry tree in a field next to us that has pretty much been abandoned. My kids like to pick the cherries and have a cherry fights.

I thought to myself, what a shame it is to let all those delicious cherries go to waste. So that is when the idea for the Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies was born.

These cookies are so moist, they practically melt in your mouth! If you are a chocolate cherry lover, then you don’t want to pass up these cookies!

Until next time,
