I will admit right now...I AM NOT A
BAKER!!! But the man of the house DOES have a sweet tooth, so I need to work at
my bakery skills! He loves chocolate covered cherries, but I'm not about to
stand over the stove, dipping cherries in chocolate and hoping they turn out
well. So I browsed my favorite blogs to see if I could find something that
incorporated cherries and chocolate. I came across The Kitchen Is My Playground. Awesome blog! I found a recipe here for Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies. I can handle that, right? I think I did a decent
job...and so does the man of the house, as well as my parents. Try this recipe
out, it's easy and tasty! To print recipe, click here: Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cup
all-purpose flour
1 tsp.
baking soda
1 tsp.
salt
1 cup
butter, room temperature
3/4 cup
sugar
3/4 cup
brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp.
vanilla extract
1/2 tsp.
almond extract
2 tsp.
maraschino cherry juice
1
container maraschino cherries, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
2 cups
semi-sweet chocolate chips (12 oz package)
Directions:
1) Preheat
oven to 375°F.
2) In a
medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
3) In a
large mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, almond
extract and maraschino cherry juice. Beat until creamy. Then beat in eggs.
4) Slowly
add the flour mixture and blend until combined. Stir in the chopped maraschino
cherries and chocolate chips.
5) Line a
cookie sheet with foil and spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Drop about a
teaspoon of the dough onto the cookie sheet. Try about 6 cookies at first, just
to make sure your oven and cooking time works well for you. The recipe
suggested 8-10 minutes cooking time, I found that I needed to cook them for 9
minutes...no less, no more. Once cooked, remove from oven and let sit for about
5 minutes before placing them on a cooling rack. Let cool for at least 15
minutes before storing...or just devour them right then and there! Enjoy!
