The Truth about Cherry Chocolate Coffee Cookies

A Cup of Coffee Cookies, take six

I cannot tell a lie. I baked the cherry chocolate chip coffee cookies. I promise I did not chop down a cherry tree to make these cookies. I used dried tart cherries from the grocery store. However, I did steal the last cup of coffee to make them.

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip Cookie Love

A slice of cookie

Ken loves those big chocolate chip cookie cakes from the Great American Cookie Company at the mall, so one year I bought a heart-shaped cookie pan to make them at home. I think I used the pan once in the several years I’ve had it. Whenever I make chocolate chip cookies, they end up being greasy and flat, and nothing like the ones at the mall. For Valentine’s Day this year, I went on a quest for the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe.
