Jump to RecipeOh my heavens! I’ve combined my darling husband’s favorite cookie with one of my faves to make these Maraschino Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies! Now we can fight over the last cookie 😉 OK, not really. I’m sure we’d be nice and let Lauren have the last cookie…Maybe. The first few times I’ve made these cookies they simply disappeared, and this time was no exception! Heavenly…seriously! Nothing combines better than chocolate and cherries and these cookies are the proof! They’re a household favorite and I’m sure that has nothing to do with the fact that they are my fave chocolate chip cookie of all time. These Maraschino Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies are really easy to make, with a little extra care given to the sliced maraschino cherries so that the red syrup doesn’t bleed through all of your cookies 🙂 It is up to you how large or small you would like your cherry chunks, but for me I like to cut most into quarters with a few halves mixed in. That way some of your bites out of these soft cookies are full of that maraschino cherry sweetness!
