Hey there! Time for the 2013 Christmas Recipe Cookie Recipe Swap! I am thrilled to be hosting with Julie from White Lights on Wednesday and Stacey and Aubrey from Real Housemoms! I made these incredible Dark Chocolate Cherry Cookies
I’m so excited, I was paired with Susan from OHMY! Creative. Be sure to stop by and see what family favorite cookie recipe I sent her to make and share!
Susan sent me a recipe that she’s made before and her family really enjoyed. I have to say, I’ve had a hard time keeping my hands off of them!
These Dark Chocolate Cherry Cookies are so moist and chewy, you’re going to want more than one. Which is fine, if you can manage it. These bad boys are huge!
