Life is a bowl of cherries 🍒
That’s my attitude, anyway.
Nothing is IN my control, as much as I’d like to worry it into that way –
It’s just not.
Thus, I might as well accept it all with positivity, FEEL it all in any and every way, and visualize a bowl of sweet, sweet cherries, a crock of vodka spiced lemonade, and tickle myself with sunshine, blue sky, and apples dipped in chocolate in peanut butter.
Life is grand.
And, in THIS case, we’ll decide to say it’s a bowl of Dark Chocolate Cherry Crunch Cookies!
Dark Chocolate Cherry Crunch Cookies
8 Tbs. butter (one stick), room temperature
14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup cane sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. sea salt
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
10 oz. Freeze Dried Cherries in Dark Chocolate
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the butter until smooth.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and whip until smooth, again.
Add the sugar, vanilla, baking powder and soda, as well as the sea salt. Mix until well combined.
Fold in the flour, 1/2 cup at a time.
Once mixed well, stir in the dried cherries. The more you beat and stir, the more broken they will be – this is all a matter of preference. If you prefer to bite down into a giant, chocolate covered, dehydrated cherry in your cookie, don’t mix much. If not, mix well and break apart the chocolate covered fruit into smaller pieces.
Scoop 1″ balls onto the parchment lined baking sheets, spacing apart. Flatten with your hands.
Bake for 15 minutes, or so, until just barely golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Serve as soon as they reach a tolerable temperature.
Perhaps have a glass of milk on hand?
😋🍒🍪🤤🍒❤️
