Honestly, theres nothing better than indulging in a big ole carton of Cherry Garcia ice cream! Until now!
These incredible Cherry Garcia Cookies will have you and your family coming back for more!
If you are like me, you love baking, especially during the holidays, no one just likes to make a regular chocolate chip cookie, you need to try these along with all of your other cookies! I promise you will not be sorry!
They are extra buttery, packed pull of chocolate morsels and stuffed throughout with cherries! What’s not to love?
They are made from scratch! and they use ingredients you probably already have in your pantry, I love simple yet scrumptious recipes that don’t take a lot of crazy ingredients or time to make either.
You can make this dough ahead of time to save time when you have other things to be cooking or baking! Just roll the prepped dough firmly and wrap with clear Saran Wrap. The dough will stay good for up to two weeks in your refrigerator!
Before you add your cherries to the dough mix, properly drain and dry the cherries before folding them into your dough. As dry as possible, you don’t want to accidentally add in a large amount of unwanted juice in there UNLESS you would like your cookies to have a more pinkish tint of color.
