Maraschino Cherry and White Chocolate Chip Cookies
"Maraschino cherries are the stars of the show in these very soft cookies with chewy edges and tender, soft, pillowy centers.The cherries add sweetness and their bright color is eye-catching. Coupled with an abundance of white chocolate in every bite, there's plenty of texture in these uber-moist cookies. They're a perfect choice for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, girlie birthdays, showers, or for anyone who loves cherries and melt-in-your-mouth cookies...."
