Cherry chocolate chip cookies

Full disclosure: Marye Audet sent me a copy of her cookbook to review
Full disclosure 2: Marye Audet is a good friend of mine.
Full disclosure 3: I would have bought this book anyway because Marye’s recipes rock.

I have in my hot little hands, Marye Audet’s new “Everything Cookes and Brownies” cookbook. While I hesitate to call it the cookie Bible, it comes close. This is no mere recipe book. Included are tips, tricks and hints for bakers of all levels. And the recipes? They rock hard.

Yesterday my son and I whipped up a batch of Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies. I picked these cookies because I’m not a fan of almond extract flavoring. I figured it Marye’s recipe could produce a cookie that wasn’t overpowered by phony almond, the book would be a winner.

I’m happy to report that the cookies were delicious and not too almondy extract-y at all. In fact, they didn’t last. They were simple to make, perfect for a 7 year old and his mom on a rainy day.
