Oh man are these cookie cups incredible! I was so excited to receive a wonderful package of goodies from the nice folks at Oh Nuts.com . The second I bit into the Dark Chocolate Covered Dried Cherries I knew just what I’d do with them….and here they are. I chopped up a couple cups and mixed them right into the cookie dough. Chocolate and cherry pieces inside this dough make for a fabulous cookie. I also added in some of the chocolate granola they sent me that added a perfect chocolaty crunch. Love it!
I’ve also seen those chocolate covered cherries at numerous other places. I believe Costco and Harry and David sell them. You can also substitute any nice crunchy granola in place of the chocolate one I was so lucky to sample. Enjoy!!
Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookie Cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup softened butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Chocolate Granola
- 2 cups chopped Chocolate Covered Cherries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer cream the butter and sugars until well combined. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well combined. Place flour, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl; mix then add to wet ingredients along with the granola and cherry pieces. With a cookie scoop, scoop into mini muffin tins or mini cheesecake pan as I have used. Bake for 15 minutes or until just golden around the edges. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

My kids loved to play with legos – and I have to say that is the one thing they had a TON of. They still have them (Chris has his stored in my attic for now) and I’m sure their kids will one day play with them. Legos were one thing my children played with for a long time. They loved them!
You’ve used your samples in such a creative way! First cookie cups are just so cute and fun! And not to mention how delicious they must have been with the chocolate covered cherries and granola!
I used to love to play with Legos! I would have so much fun in Lego Land too!
Those look Yummy!! Great job on another FANTASTIC recipe 🙂 You and your Boys are cuties!!!
