You all know how much I love hearing from you! Whether you leave comments on my recipe blogs, follow me on Facebook, or Instagram, I read everything you guys say and take it all into account when creating new recipes. Recently, I asked my followers on Instagram for some cookie ideas. The most requested flavor? Cherry Garcia! I don’t know why but this surprised me. I guess I thought you’d all want more chocolate or peanut butter, maybe some kind of fancy oatmeal? But, the more I think about it, the idea is actually genius! What a great tasting cookie just in time for summer this would be! So, I took inspiration from the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor, Cherry Garcia, which is made from cherry ice cream with more cherries added, plus fudge flakes mixed in. For these shortbread cookies, I wanted to meld all the cherry flavors and chocolate flavors and pack them together by using both maraschino cherries, cherry extract, and chocolate chunks in the cookies (plus a hint of almond), and then went ahead and dipped them again in chocolate for a cookie that is out-of-this-world delicious!
