cookies have come a long way… they used to be some variation of flour, sugar, egg and butter… now you wouldn’t dream of not adding a vegetable or chickpea to the cookies… makes you wonder why obesity is on the rise… my guess is it has nothing to do with the cookies and more to do with Netflix…

- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped up
Directions:

- fold in the coconut, chocolate chips and cherries
- using a medium ice cream scoop, scoop out cookies onto a parchment lined baking sheet

Great idea to use cherries and all the rest of the goodies in these cookies! Maybe even some dark chocolate chips? Saving this recipe!
