Double Cherry Chocolate Cookies

0 · Jul 25, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Summer reminds me of Cherries and fresh Cherries remind me of home.  This was the inspiration for a new cookie recipe I created today..Double Cherry Chocolate Cookies.

My folks used to have all kinds of fruit trees, berries, a garden and a green house….it was endless and always fresh food from Garden to Table…organic and delish.  They kept busy and we grew up indulging in everything from fresh fruit/berry jams, crisps, pies, fruit perogies to homemade fruit & berry wine (when we were old enough lol).

Since we are leaving for vacay in a couple days (my hometown in B.C.) I had some fresh cherries to use up and found myself lost in a memory from long ago.  So I decided to cut them up, combine them with dried cherries and some chocolate to create a new cookie.  I also added a new secret ingredient to add more chocolatey goodness (instand pudding powder). The end result is a chocoholic’s dream pairing chocolate with fresh & dried cherries made into a lovely bite that satisfies the soul.

The addition of fresh Cherries makes this a summer cookie.  In the winter months when fresh cherries are unavailable use extra dried cherries instead.

  • Throwing back today to that time in #Lucerne Switzerland. We yodeled, we took in a Folklore show, wandered the town sight seeing and of course had swiss fondue. We also spent time in #Innusbruck and visited the #Matterhorn.

  • Today is a good day for a Classic Swiss Fondue.
.
I first tried this fondue in Switzerland in between a Folklore show, Swiss beer and yodeling in the 90s. It's no wonder I feel the urge to yodel when I have Swiss Fondue 🤣🤣

Find this recipe on the blog.
