CHOCOLATE CHIP-CHERRY CHUNK COOKIES



Chocolate Chip-Cherry Chunk Cookies image

My grandmas and mom created this recipe with chocolate chips, cherries and spices, a combo of their favorite parts of different cookies. Then dad made ice cream to turn them into ice cream sandwiches. We'd eat these sandwiches in the summer heat, each bite cooling us as the ice cream melted down our arms. -Wade Rouse, Fennville, Michigan.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cherries: Fresh cherries are ideal for this recipe, but frozen cherries can also be used. If using frozen cherries, thaw them before adding them to the cookie dough.
  • Chop the cherries finely: This will help to distribute the cherries evenly throughout the cookie dough and prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cookies.
  • Use a combination of chocolate chips and chopped cherries: This will give the cookies a delicious combination of flavors and textures.
  • Chill the cookie dough before baking: This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown: This will ensure that the cookies are cooked through and have a slightly crispy exterior.

These chocolate chunk tart cherry cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy with a slightly crispy exterior, and they are packed with chocolate chips and tart cherries. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
