Cherry Chocolate Chunk Cookies


I made two kinds of cookies this past weekend in attempts to get rid of some random stuff I had in my pantry. Actually, I don't really have a pantry. It's New York. I have a cabinet with food in it. ANYWAYS, these cookies were a HUGE hit in our apartment. Spice said the cherries were such a pleasant surprise when you took a bite and a house guest dared Spice that she couldn't eat just one. I think she lost the dare =)
