Chocolate Chunk Amarena Cherry Cookies

I’ve eaten plenty of cookies of all different flavors and shapes, but this has got to be one of the best…if not the best. They’re soft, have chocolate and just when you least expect it you get the bursting flavor of amarena cherry. You might want to double or even triple this recipe because I promise you no one will be able to eat just one!

Yields: 9 large cookies or 12 small cookies
