Double chocolate chip cookies are triple as sweet with the addition of maraschino cherries!

I used to be the kind of kid who would pop maraschino cherries into my mouth like they were candy. One after another, sweet little cherries would dissolve into my mouth until the entire jar was emptied. This would no doubt drive my mom crazy as we were going through jars and jars of cherries on a weekly basis.
I don’t have the same zeal for eating maraschino cherries these days. I scoop them out of my drinks or milkshakes and pass them onto my daughter who pops them into her mouth like they are candy. I would rather enjoy maraschino cherries in baked goods like this cherry lime cake roll, or these Cherry Coke cupcakes. These cherries need something to combat all that candied sweetness.
Double chocolate chip cookies are perfect for maraschino cherry lovers! White chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate are ideal partners for those candied cherries. I baked these soft, chewy cookies on Reynolds Cookie Baking Sheets. These convenient pre-cut sheets make baking simple! They are non-stick and lay perfectly flat on my cookie tray (hurrah for no curling). And when I’m finished baking, I just throw my sheet away; no clean up! What’s even better is that these sheets are oven safe up to 420 degrees!
These double chocolate chip cookies are truly something special. Creamy white chocolate and rich semi-sweet chocolate melt in your mouth which each bite and while the semi-sweet chocolate holds back on the sweetness, the maraschino cherries dig in! But each component works harmoniously to bring you a truly joyful cookie experience!
Easy baking; joyful cookie-what more could a girl ask for?

Look yummy! I’m a cherry addict from way back! I found those baking sheets before Christmas…yay no roll up! Also, after I baked with them I folded the used side in and used them to keep the stickier (softer) cookies separate while I stored them!

This really takes me back to my childhood because that is the only time I remember eating maraschino cherries! We would put them on top of our sundaes 🙂 Love the use of them in cookies, and since my daughter is at that age where she discovered maraschino cherries, she would love these.

My grandfather used to bring me my very jar of cherries when he’d come to visit me as a child. I became a little less enamored as an adult UNTIL I discovered Tillen Farms all-natural maraschino cherries. Now I’m an addict again. These cookies sound absolutely amazing and I’m definitely going to make them soon.
I followed you here from the Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop. 🙂

I absolutely ADORE the sound of these Double Chocolate Chip Cookies with Cherries! I was never a big maraschino cherry fan as a kid or as an adult, but I bet they add such a lovely sweetness and cherry flavor to these cookies, and I cannot wait to try ’em. Especially since I’ve got some cherries in my fridge just waiting to be used!
Found you on the Weekend Recipe Link Up Party over at Gator Mommy Reviews and wanted to say hello! Keep up the good work, and happy Sunday!
