I have a theory, if you add fruit to chocolate, it becomes healthy. Period. And, I also think that if you add
fruit to a cookie, it has negative calories. So, basically, if you eat a cookie with fruit in it, you are burning calories. Now, I want to stress that this is just MY THEORY, I have no scientific proof, I am not a nutritionist, so I really have no evidence for this theory, but it makes sense to me, so, my blog, my rules. This cookie has no calories, and actually makes you burn calories by eating them.
I love chocolate paired with cherries. My mother in law loves chocolate and cherries, a Christmas can not go by with out us giving her a box of those chocolate covered cherries. My dad, he is allergic to cherries, he breaks out in hives and gets all kinds of sick. Do you know how many things have cherries in them? Not fun at all. Now, here is a fun twist, my mother in law is not a fan of dark chocolate, but, my dad loves dark chocolate.
I am a big fan of dark chocolate, the darker the better. I love cherries, the tarter the better.I am also a big fan of dried fruit, the strong, concentrated flavor is like a little dance on my taste buds. I could eat dried cranberries all day long. I know a lot of people like chocolate and raspberries paired together, but sadly, I am allergic to raspberries. I love these cookies, but unfortunately, neither my mother in law or dad can eat them, so I was forced to eat them all myself. A bloggers life is hard ya'll.
The chewiness of the dried cherries add a nice texture and chew to the cookies...so really...they are perfect for Valentine's Day. Dark Chocolate, tartness, and sweet powdered sugar coating, these are sure to gain you some bonus love this year!
I hope you will give these cookies a try, and let me know what you think. Are you a fan of dark chocolate, or would you rather have a sweet milk chocolate. Dried fruit, fan or not? Give me some feedback, chocolate and fruit, yes or no?
