Treat of the Week

Hey Guys!
I decided to create a "Treat of the Week" blog every week to give you guys ideas for easy sweet treats! The one for this week is "Cherry 'N Chip Cookies"!

Ingredients:
-2 cups of all purpose flour
-3/4 cups of cocoa powder
-1 teaspoon of baking soda
-1/2 teaspoon of salt
-1 1/2 sticks of butter
-1 1/4 cups of sugar
-2 large eggs
-2 tablespoons of milk
-2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
-1 cup of white chocolate chips
-1 cup of dried cherries

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325 Degrees Farenheight and place foil on all of your baking sheets.
2. In a bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
3. In a bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar for 2 minutes on medium speed. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla. Add the milk and mix until it is well combined.
4. On a low speed add the flour mixture and mix until it is well combined.
5. Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto your baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the edges on the cookies are firm.
6. Remove foil from tray and place foil [with the cookies still on it] on the counter. [Doing this speeds up the cooling time because the cookies will stay hot on a hot baking sheet]
7. Enjoy with family, friends and loved ones!

[IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ELECTRIC MIXER FOLLOW THESE STEPS INSTEAD OF 3-4!
3. Place butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and put in a bowl separate from your flour bowl. Add sugar and mix. Add eggs and mix. Add vanilla and mix. Add milk and mix until all of it is well combined. (You can also put all of these things in the bowl at once and mix all together)
4. Add flour mixture and mix until it is well combined.
FOLLOW STEPS 5-7 ABOVE.]

Hint: If your batter is ever too dry or floury add a little bit of water and mix, keep doing so, until it is the right consistency.

ENJOY!
