Cherry Chocolate Chip Valentine Cookies
Bake a batch of Cherry Chocolate Chip Valentine Cookies this Valentine’s Day to share with your Valentine. It’s a 20-minute easy recipe.
With Valentine’s Day coming up, it was a no-brainer about what cookies I would make today. I love the flavors of cherry and chocolate together. To me, it ranks up there with Raspberry and Chocolate.
If you love a soft, fluffy cookie, then this is the cookie for you. Do you know how most cookies look nice and fluffy when they come out of the oven but deflate while cooking? You will not get that outcome with these little gems. They got fluff!!
The Cherry Chocolate Valentine Cookies recipe calls for semisweet chocolate chips, but any type will work. I have used dark chocolate in the past and loved the combination of the dark chocolate and the sweet cherries.
Although this cookie has “Valentine” in its name, they are the perfect cookies no matter the season. Enjoy!
