MARASCHINO CHERRY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES #FRUIT #SNACK
I trust I have referenced this previously, at whatever point it's one of my nieces or nephews birthday celebrations, they get the chance to pick what sort of treat I make and mail to them. Truly fortunate, huh?!
Well one of my nieces doesn't care for chocolate… I know, I don't comprehend – I live off chocolate. So I was giving her a couple of alternatives of treats I could make and one of the choices was maraschino cherry treats.
I got the opportunity to work and made five test groups! A portion of the clusters were entirely clever looking – working with an include like maraschino fruits can be hard in light of the fact that they have so much dampness. However, I at long last got the formula without flaw!
The ones I sent her didn't have chocolate chips so you can make these cherry treats without the chips, yet for us chocolate darlings, more chocolate the better! I'd wager these maraschino treats would likewise be great with white chocolate chips!
