This week Megan, of My Baking Adventures, chose Double Dark Chocolate Cherry Cookies. I love Megan and her blog. She has a great sense of humor and she's always making the most delicious looking creations for her family. I love chocolate but chocolate cookies always seem to fall sort of flat for me. And these cookies seemed like a sort of black forest cookie and I honestly wasn't excited about making them. I thought that I'd make them because they weren't too complicated, and then I'd just give them away.Well, color me completely and utterly wrong about these chocolate cookies because they're good. Really, amazingly, wonderfully good. Chewy, chocolaty good. So good that I couldn't stop eating them. I love these cookies! I made half of the batch with the dried tart cherries and half without. And, while both of the cookies are delicious, I liked the chocolate with the cherries more than the plain chocolate cookies. So, I was going to give them away, but then I saved some and froze the rest to give away in a batch of assorted baked goods. Well, as I've been demolishing the cookie stash, I find myself pondering whether or not I really want to give these away. I sort of want to hoard them, keep them all to myself. These cookies are delicious. Visit Megan's blog for the recipe and remember one thing: don't over bake these babies. They must be chewy! Thanks to Megan for picking this wonderful recipe. I know that I will make these again and again!

Awww - thanks for the compliments!
I am so glad you decided to make these after all - and that they surpassed your expectations.
And just so you know, I left out the cherries too!
These surprised me a bit too! I'm not usually a fan of chocolate cookies like this but these were delicious. Yours look awesome - I love the colorful background in your photos :)
Great looking cookies! Keep them for yourself, you deserve it. I left the cheeries out and they were good!
Beautiful cookies and such a cute background! Glad you liked them! :)
These were awfully tasty - yours look delicious!
those look chocolaty and delicious!
I loved the cherries in this cookie dough, in fact the next time I make them, I'm going to double the amount of cherries.
I'm glad that you got a kick out of the Singleton Rd. sign. I had to stop to take that picture. The lavernder festival was so nice, I can't wait until next year's festival.
Enjoy the rest of your cookie batch.
Yep...these are definitely the kind of cookie you want to hoard all for yourself. They look terrific.
mmm. chocolate and cherries is one of my favorite combos. these cookies look super tasty :)
I really want to try making these - they look fantastic!
I'm heading over to check out the recipe. I made a similar cookie awhile ago and pretty much ate the whole batch by myself.
Glad they exceeded expectations, it's always great when a recipe does that! I'm definitely interested in trying them without the cherries some time. That background is adorable, perfect for featuring a dark cookie.
Isn't it great when a recipe sneaks up and surprises you? They look a lot like some cookies that we made for TWD, and I wonder if they're similar? I'd love one with a glass of milk!
Wow, they sure look good! Glad you ended up liking them.
Those look great! I love cherry + chocolate combos.
Hi Jessica!
Your cookies look awesome, but I must say, I LOVE the bright flower backdrop! Is that a place mat? It's too cute! I'm glad these cookies surprised you and you enjoyed them so much.
I'd love for you to drop by my site if you have a chance, to check out my cookies as well! Hope to talk to you again after the next SMS postings.

Your cookies look gorgeous! They WERE (as in all gone) super delicious. YUM.
I love it when a recipe surprises you. Like you, these cookies don't seem that exciting to me but since you loved them I bet I would too.
I agree, I'm usually not so excited about chocolate cookies, but these were great! I love your flowery background behind the cookies by the way - adorable!
These look amazingly chocolaty! They remind me of World Peace Cookies!
Chocolate and cherries are 2 of my favorite food! I hope you still have some of your cookies.. I want some :)
Glad you liked the cookies. Love the background. How do you do that? fabrick? paper?
I had the same "black forest" thought before I made these, but I agree, they were delicious!
