Bite into chocolate covered cherry cookies and find a cherry surprise inside. Simple from-scratch chocolate cookies with a dollop of melted chocolate on top.
Chocolate covered cherry cordials are my husband's favorite treats. A close second are pecan tassies and molasses Christmas cookies, but cherries & chocolate holds a special place. Every birthday, Christmas and Father’s Day we make or buy him those little chocolate candies.
During the Christmas season and even on Valentine’s Day, we switch things up and make him chocolate covered cherry cookies. They aren’t quite as sweet as the chocolate covered cherries, but still have that flavor combination you know and love.
