Dark Chocolate Cherry Cordial Cookies

Filed Under: cookies, dessert, snack Tagged With: cherry, chocolate, chocolate chips, cocoa

Rich, chewy chocolate cookies with a hint of cherry flavor make these Cherry Cordial Cookies a must bake this holiday season.

Dark Chocolate Cherry Cordial Cookies bake them this holiday season

When I was a kid every year at Christmas we used to exchange presents with our next door neighbors and every year we bought the husband of the family a tin of mixed nuts and they bought my dad a box of chocolate covered cherries. I cannot remember why, or if either of them even really liked nuts or cherries, but that was a constant for so many years. I wasn’t much of a fan of the actual cherry in the candy but have always loved the subtle cherry flavor of the cream inside. You can imagine my utter joy when Hershey’s started making the Cherry Cordial Kisses a few years back.

Dark Chocolate Cherry Cordial Cookies are perfect with a glass of milk

Okay, so I realize you may be thinking – another chocolate cookie? Yes. But these are different I promise. They are soft, rich, dark chocolate cookies filled with Cherry Cordial Hershey’s Kisses. So they are pretty much divine, I could eat the whole batch if I let myself. I know that I said I was trying to be healthier this year, I am, but sometimes a girl just needs a cookie. And there really is no better way to indulge your craving than with a fresh from the oven cookie. I hope you’ll enjoy them too; happy baking!
