Shriley Temple lovers, this one is for you! If you’re the type that steals maraschino cherries out of the jar, and wishes every drink came with 10 of them, this is your Christmas cookie! If you’re also the type that would rather have a box of cherry cordials than expensive chocolates, you’re just like me and we both love these cookies! These chocolate cookies are soft and chewy (with crisp edges, of course!), but they’re also packed with chocolate chips and cherries!
