Cherry Cordial Cookies
I heard about these cookies probably about a decade ago when a writing friend sent around Christmas cookie recipes for twelve days–yes, it always has to be twelve! Anyway, I was intrigued by a description claiming they tasted just like chocolate covered cherries. . .
Well . . .not so much, but they do taste like chocolate and cherries. And they are very simple to make. And who can resist that shockingly pink color? Around here we nicknamed them Atomic Cookies because of their crazy bright color that could just about flag down any low-flying aircraft.
But the hour is late, so let’s get to the recipe, shall we? One more close-up first.
- I package sugar cookie mix (I used Betty Crocker 17.5 ounce mix)
- 1 small package of cherry gelatin (3-ounce)
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- Make the sugar cookie mix according to package directions.
- Mix in cherry gelatin and chocolate chips.
- Bake according to directions on the sugar cookie mix package.
- Enjoy!
Notes: You can use more chocolate chips if you would like a more chocolatey flavor. Also, I ended up adding in the gelatin before adding in the butter and the egg. . . Which reminds me, be prepared to have the ingredients you’ll need to add in when making the sugar cookie mix according to directions.
So there you have it–one of the easiest recipes you’ll ever make! Why not round up the kids and whip up a batch today?
