The batter for these cookies was pretty thick, so I went ahead and smashed down the top of the dough once I placed it onto my baking sheet to make sure the cookies spread evenly and did not stay clumped up in a big mountain. I actually kind of like the crackled effect they turned out with. Oh, in case anyone is wondering I found the bag of cherry chips at Walmart and I am pretty sure that they still carry them. I think these cookies would be a great addition to holiday baking lists.

1 bag of Log House Cherry Chips
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and use a cookie sheet with a silpat liner.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Slowly add eggs and vanilla until well combined.
3. In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Slowly add to wet ingredients then stir in white chips and cherry chips. Using a medium cookie scoop, drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet.

I see cherry chips all the time at Walmart but like you never know what to make with them. But now I have a recipe. :)
The cracked top is really nice indeed! And I love the red bits coming out of the chocolate dough :)
Do you know that I LOVE the sound of chocolate and cherry cookies every time I see them, and I still haven't made them yet!
What gorgeous cookies! They look so, so delicious. I'll have to go find me a bag of those cherry chips :)
This would be like a large chocolate covered cherry to me...the best!!! I'm going to add the chips to my shopping list-these look fantastic!
Oh, if only we had cherry chips up here in the great white north!!! Boo!
Mmmm... I've never seen cherry chips! But, if I do, now I know what to make with them! ;-)

I love the pretty red chips in the chocolate cookies. I have never seen cherry chips, but if I do, I'll have to grab some!
Love the combo. These would indeed be great on a Christmas cookie tray. Thanks for the inspiration!
Chocolate covered cherries - how could it be wrong! These sound perfect for a Christmas cookie tray.
LOVE THESE COOKIES!!
I made a few changes that I think really helped. First I added some more flour - I would guess about 1/2 cup - so that they didn't spread out so much. Then instead of putting the white chocolate chips in the dough, I drizzled it melted over the top. I think this makes them look prettier on a Christmas cookie tray. Thanks for the receipe.
